Brazil grows more coffee than any other country, from plantations in Minas Gerais,
São Paulo and Bahia. Arabica is harvested from about May to September, dried or 
pulped, hulled and graded. For roasted coffee oil, green beans are roasted just 
as they are for drinking coffee, sometimes using lots that do not meet cup grade,
then pressed soon after roasting to capture the aroma. The oil is dark brown and
smells strongly of roasted coffee. It contains linoleic and palmitic acids, plant
sterols, and the coffee compounds cafestol and kahweol.

## Details

  |  Botanical name |  _Coffea arabica_ (Arabica coffee) |  
 |  Origin |  Brazil, Latin America |  
 |  Part used |  Roasted bean |  
 |  Extraction |  Expeller-pressed |  
 |  Texture |  Smooth, rich, aromatic |  
 |  Ingredients |  100% roasted _Coffea arabica_ seed oil |

**Why supply is limited:** coffee beans hold only about 10 to 15 percent oil, roasting
makes them brittle and harder to press, and each batch must be pressed soon after
roasting.

## How to use

 1. **Scrubs:** mix with sugar or coffee grounds for a body scrub.
 2. **Lips and body:** add to lip balms and body butters for colour and scent.
 3. **Hair:** rub a drop through dry ends.

Patch test on the inner arm before first use. Keep away from the eyes. Store somewhere
cool and dark with the cap closed.

This is liquid gold!! I have only been using this for a couple days but the visual
difference is amazing. I have been using different blends that include coffee oil
but it is nothing compared to pure coffee oil. I have been using it for an eczema
condition on my fingers too and it has cleared up. I will never use anything else.
Shipped fast and packed well too. Thank you!!
