[ExI] Coffee consumption linked to increased longevity

[William Flynn Wallace]

I didn't know you were a coffeeist.  I buy various beans, roast them
myself, mix and match, and use all settings between blond and fairly dark,
but not French roast. I'll never run out of combinations to try.  I add
decaf sometimes.

 Sweetmarias.com is my supplier.  They give a recommendation as to just how
dark to roast them.  I like the 'gesha' and the honey processed beans.
 Also Yirgacheffe.  Where coffee was first discovered - Ethiopa.

Coffee beans have over 1000 chemicals in them, who knows what they do? Tea
leaves are probably just as complex.

There probably are psychological reasons for the difference between tea and
coffee drinkers.   bill w
