Legend has it that Kaldi found his goats eating the bright red berries from the dark leaved little shrub. The goats began jumping, rolling and bouncing. Kaldi shared his discovery with local Holy men who styled a drink by boiling the husked berries.

· TURKISH COFFEE ; Turkish coffee is not a degree of roast or an indicator of Turkish heritage, although usually dark Turkish is not a degree of roast. Turkish coffee means "super extra fine grind". Coffee beans ground to a very fine powder. Typically, the coffee bean is roasted to a dark brown to attain a brittle quality increasing the beans ability to be ground fine. Turkish coffee can be a blended two or three bean affair or flavored, I assure you a nice crispy "Master Dry Roasted Dark" bean of the highest quality ground and fresh brewed in the grand Turkish style will amaze you.

· ESPRESSO ; Espresso is a particular and very distinct way of making coffee. It stands on its own. Espresso means at its root or origin EXPRESS. Modern "high end" machines are a wonder, steel tank of super heated water. Freshly ground coffee is packed with a small damper into a handle containing a small sieve. The handle is fitted with precision and steaming hot water is allowed to force through the grounds and the delicious essential brown mosaic that is crème forms.

For over 4000 years, Red Reishi mushrooms have been most revered in traditional Chinese medicine equaling ginseng as a premier substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity, and spiritual attainment.

Traditionally, Reishi has been used as an anti-aging herb to treat many diseases and disorders. Daoist traditionalists rever this mushroom as the elixir of immortality, claiming it promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, and inner awareness and strength.

Reishi contains sterols, coumarin, mannitol, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. It is thought that ganoderic acid lowers blood pressure, LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), and triglyceride levels.

The triterpenoids also play an important role in lowering the risk of coronary artery disease.

Coffee, which was traditionally drunk at home in the morning, has now become a firmly established part of daily life, work and leisure. The rapid development of coffee houses, coffee bars and specialty shops has helped cultivate consumers’ taste for gourmet coffee. Yet total Canadian demand has increased only slightly, as one product has been substituted for another. In terms of value, however, the Canadian market’s growth still partially depends on fluctuations in the world price of coffee. But by integrating their operations and adding greater value to products and services, industry players are now better able to manage their profit margins and can avoid having to pass on to consumers too quickly the sudden fluctuations in the costs of their supplies.
