Organic Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from the *Coffea* plant. The beans are grown in tropical regions worldwide. After harvesting, the beans are processed, roasted, and then ground to make the beverage.

Coffee is primarily used as a beverage for its stimulating effect due to caffeine. It's also used as a flavoring agent in desserts, baked goods, and candies. Manufacturers use it to add a distinct, often bitter, rich flavor.

Coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for coffee itself, though it monitors caffeine intake. JECFA has evaluated coffee and coffee extracts. Moderate consumption of coffee is associated with various health outcomes in peer-reviewed literature, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others noting potential risks with high intake, particularly related to sleep and anxiety.
