WHY DOES ORAC SCORE MATTER?ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a unit of measurement used to determine the antioxidant activity of a food. Antioxidants are nutrients and enzymes that may help protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. So, the higher the ORAC score of a food, the better it is for you!
ISN'T COFFEE ACIDIC?Longevity Coffee® beans boast a pH of 7.2.This is incredibly unique because all other commercial coffee beans on the market today are in the acidic range of 4.0-6.0!
WHY ALKALINITY MATTERSThe human body is a naturally alkaline environment. When you consume an overly acidic diet, you throw off your body's healthy pH balance and make your body susceptible to illness.*
Our body's internal system needs a pH just above 7.0 for the enzymatic, immunological, and repair mechanisms to function at their best.* Most coffee beans are very acidic. But, Longevity Coffee beans have a pH value of 7.2, which is exactly where your body needs to be to function at its best!*
COFFEE CROPS ARE CHEMICALLY TREATEDAccording to recent statistics, up to 250 pounds of chemical fertilizers are sprayed per acre of conventional coffee. Some companies claim that the pesticides "burn off" during roasting. However, at Food for the Immortals® we believe that rather than cooking off, these toxins are probably cooked into the beans.
Would you eat a conventionally grown, genetically modified potato that was treated with dozens of dangerous chemicals just because someone told you they would magically disappear once you heated it up?
Neither would we.
Mycotoxins are a group of naturally-occurring chemicals produced by certain molds and can cause a variety of health concerns in humans.
WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
1. You drink mycotoxin-free conventional coffee, that has been treated with chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and/or fungicides.
- - - OR - - -
2. You drink chemical-free organic coffee prone to mycotoxins and fungal by-products growing freely on the beans.
WHAT IF YOU HAD A THIRD OPTION?
Longevity Coffee® is not only certified organic, but it tests free of all known mycotoxins and fungus by-products common to many popular coffee brands.
HOW DOES IT WORK?The key to Longevity Coffee®'s unique properties is sunlight. This is no ordinarysunlight, though. Our beans are bathed in a unique spectrum of light that not only makes the need for chemical additives unnecessary, but also kills off any dangerous mycotoxins, creating one of the most unique coffee products ever produced.
Longevity Coffee® plants are grown in volcanic, mineral-rich soil, fed with pure natural spring water, and nurtured in clean, high-altitude air. For every 100 pounds of coffee that is grown, we hand-pick a little more than half the crop (about 55%) to package into Longevity Coffee®.
Only the most robust and mineral-rich beans are selected! From the moment it's planted to the moment it's shipped to you Longevity Coffee® is only handled by experts within our company We ensure a "start-to-finish" control over every aspect of the coffee process.
Most coffee companies process their beans through third-party facilities, which can expose the coffee to unwanted environmental contaminants. Thanks to the addition of sunlight and the assurance of absolute quality control, Longevity Coffee® is perfect for anyone sensitive to conventional coffee products.
PURE GENIUS
The greatest geniuses throughout history were avid coffee drinkers.
Steve Jobs drank coffee.
So did John Lennon, Francis Bacon, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gustav Mahler, Soren Kierkegaard, Proust, Glenn Gould, and Albert Einstein!
Legendary Musician Ludwig van Beethoven was so serious about his coffee that he only drank coffee that he himself made. He always counted 60 beans per cup...never a bean more, never a bean less.
The French philosopher Voltaire was known to drink 50 cups of coffee per day! He even paid his servants exorbitant amounts of money when they acquired his favorite beans.
The one comment we consistently get from our coffee drinkers is how focused and relaxed they become after drinking a single cup. They report none of the "edginess" they've grown accustomed to while drinking conventional coffee brands.
Longevity Coffee® possesses a pleasant caffeine lift without over-stimulating the nervous system.
(Please note recent tariff increases have made it impossible to not raise the rate of Coffee but rest assured it is the same great Coffee and best possible price at present)

2. Rich in Flavor.
Certified 100% organic and toxin free, Longevity Coffee® is wash-processed and shade grown. The beans are hand-picked to be the perfect delivery system for superfoods and superherbs!
3. Low Chlorogenic Acid.
So why does this odd sounding acid matter when it comes to buying and drinking coffee?
As it turns out, chlorogenic acid is the true source of the adverse health effects of coffee! We're talking about the bitterness of coffee (Campa, Doulbeau, Dussert, Hamon, & Noirot, 2005), as well as side effects like indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux (K. Fujioka, T. Shibamoto, 2007).
It's been proven that these effects are NOT due to the mycotoxins in coffee, it's the chlorogenic acid levels that matter (specifically CQA 3, 4, and 5).
An average cup of coffee has 5-6 mg/mL of chlorogenic acid. Longevity Coffees® measure as low as .0171 mg/ml - extraordinarily lower than the rest of the industry!
Did you know that stomach distress is reported by as much as 25% of the coffee drinking public? Now we know why!
So, what is the key to accomplishing a low chlorogenic acid coffee?
Longevity Coffee® has developed a proprietary washing and roasting process that no one else comes even close to. It results in smooth, rich tasting coffee that doesn't cause any gastrointestinal distress.
Taste, and feel, the difference low chlorogenic acid coffee makes in your body!

TO BREW YOUR COFFEE:
There are many methods of brewing a delicious cup of coffee and no one technique is right. The method you select for brewing your coffee should be based on your unique coffee flavor preference - and it takes experimentation to discover what you deem "perfect".
To optimize the quality of every cup of coffee you drink, try incorporating the below suggestions...they will all lead you a little bit closer to the preparation of you ideal cup of coffee.
1. The Equipment
Make sure that your equipment is thoroughly cleaned after each use. Rinse it with clear, hot water and dry it well. Check that no grounds have been left to collect on any part of the equipment and that there is no build-up of coffee oil anywhere. Coffee residue can impart a bitter, rancid flavor to the coffee, so it's very important that the equipment is clean.
2. The Grind
Always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible. A burr or mill grinder is preferable because all of the coffee is ground to a consistent size. A blade grinder is less preferable because some coffee will be ground more finely than the rest. If you normally grind your coffee at home with a blade grinder, try having it ground at the store with a burr grinder. You may be surprised at the difference!
Do not underestimate the importance of the size of the grind to the taste of your coffee. If your coffee tastes bitter, it may be over-extracted, or ground too fine. On the other hand, if your coffee tastes flat, it may be under-extracted, meaning that your grind is too coarse. The size of your ground should match the equipment you will be brewing the coffee in. Will you be using a plunger pot? A flat drip filter? A cone drip filter? A gold mesh filter? The grind should be specific for the preparation method you have chosen and the equipment you use.
Never reuse your coffee grounds. Once brewed, the desirable coffee flavors have been extracted and only the bitter undesirable ones are left.
3. The Water
The water you use is VERY important to the quality of your coffee. Use filtered or bottled water if your tap water is not good or imparts a strong odor or taste, such as chlorine. If you are using tap water let it run a few seconds before filling your coffee pot. Be sure to use cold water. Do not use distilled or softened water. Spring water is the best choice of water and is recommended when brewing Longevity Coffee®.
4. Ratio of Coffee to Water
It is important to use the proper amount of coffee for every six ounces of water that is actually brewed. Please be aware that some water is lost to evaporation in certain brewing methods.
A general guideline is 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water. This can be adjusted to suit individual taste preferences.
Be sure to check the 'cup' lines on your brewer to see how they actually measure.
5. Water Temperature During Brewing
Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 - 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction.
Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee. Water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee. If you are brewing the coffee manually, let the water come to a full boil, but do not over-boil. Turn off the heat source and allow the water to rest a minute before pouring it over the grounds.
We also recommend the Cold Brewing Method if you'd like the lowest acidity level possible in your final coffee product.
6. Brewing Time
The amount of time that the water is in contact with the coffee grounds is another important factor affecting the taste of your coffee.
In a drip system: the contact time with the water should be approximately 5 minutes.
In a plunger pot: the contact time with the water should be 2-4 minutes.
To make Espresso: the contact time with the water should be 20-30 seconds.
If the taste of your coffee is not optimal, it is possible that you are either over-extracting (the brew time is too long) or under-extracting (the brew time is too short) your coffee. Experiment with the contact time until you can make a cup of coffee that suits your tastes perfectly.
AFTER YOUR COFFEE HAS BEEN BREWED:
Brewed coffee should be enjoyed immediately!
If you pour the coffee into a warmed coffee cup, it will maintain its temperature for as long as possible.
Brewed coffee begins to lose its optimal taste moments after brewing, so only brew as much coffee as you will drink immediately.
The coffee should never be left on an electric burner for longer than 15 minutes because it will begin to develop a burned taste. If the coffee is not to be served immediately after brewing, it should be poured into a warmed, insulated thermos and used within the next 45 minutes.
Never reheat your coffee, because frankly, it's just not going to taste very good!
