The journey of coffee from the tree to the cup is a wonderful odyssey, full of infinite potential and unlimited reward. Originally native to Ethiopia, coffee is today grown around the world in countries close to the equator.

There are a couple of dueling misconceptions about light roasted coffee concerning the caffeine content. In our experience, those coffee drinkers weened on the specialty coffee of the 1970's and the famous oily black beans of the era, tend to believe that Dark Roasted coffee packs more punch.

Then there are those who have come of age in the Third Wave of coffee and are happy to report that in fact Light Roasted coffee has more caffeine since dark roasting burns out all the go-juice. The truth is, however, that the caffeine content in one coffee "bean" is the same no matter if it is Light or Dark roasted.
