A Nice Cuppa

“Black Gold” may be coming to PBS, but you can have it anytime with a great new product (getting lots of attention), Java Juice Extract.

Java Juice Extract is 100% organic, fair-trade, shade-grown, and kosher liquid coffee extract made from Arabica Coffee beans.

This stuff is great, you rip it, add water and then sip it.

For the true coffee junkie, you can also include it in great recipies, like Haute Coffee Chili!
