One of the nation’s leading authorities on nutrition said most people would not have expected him to write this, but this is what he wrote in one of his books, “Coffee is a remarkably safe beverage. Its dubious health history, which stretches back hundreds of years, is more image than substance.”

The author of that statement explains that researchers produced many studies of coffee drinkers who came to a bad end. But in retrospect, these studies proved to be defective. The bad end was caused by the subjects’ smoking, not by their coffee drinking. Now experts agree that coffee is a safe and even healthy beverage. This may be good news that ranks with the recent revelation that dark chocolate (the darker, the better) is loaded with healthful antioxidants and - in small amounts - to avoid a calorie problem - is even upgraded to a heath food.

The rising tide of coffee connoisseurs with more sophisticated tastes, has produced an increasing demand for gourmet coffees. Whole markets are now opening up to cater for the expectations of today’s coffee drinkers. So the specialty coffee industry is now alive and ready to serve. In fact, it is one of the fastest growing sectors within the food industry, with billions of cups being served every year.

Gourmet coffees, such as those from Boca Java, are defined by specially selected beans which have been grown in high altitude tropical climates. Each country of origin produces its own unique coffee flavour, much richer in taste than standard mass-produced coffee.
