#164: Coffee Leaf Tea? Max Rivest of Wize Monkey

What is coffee leaf tea? 

A smooth-tasting infusion made from the leaves of the coffee plant, coffee leaf tea is simple to brew, is light in caffeine, and has a variety of potential health benefits. 

Max Rivest, co-founder of Wize Monkey, explains how coffee leaf tea solves the problem of the seasonality of coffee production, providing year-round work for coffee farm employees, and why you should add it to your morning routine. 

Key takeaways:

• After overdosing on caffeine from coffee, Max Rivest decided to take a break from coffee and discovered coffee leaf tea
• The original way to consume the coffee plant in Ethiopia was to drink tea from the leaves rather than roasting the beans
• There are many potential health benefits to coffee leaf tea, and it is much lower in caffeine than coffee
• Coffee leaf tea is sustainable: it provides a solution to the seasonal nature of the coffee industry because the leaves can be harvested during the off season
