Oleic acid: 79.2%

Botanical Name: Coffea arabica L

Origin: Brazil

Description: Coffea Arabica is the earliest cultivated species of the coffee tree and still the most widely grown. The trees produce approximately 70% of the world's coffee, and are dramatically superior in cup quality to the other principal commercial coffee species, Coffea canephora or Robusta. All fine, specialty, and fancy coffees come from Coffea arabica trees.

Color: Dark brown viscous liquid.

Common Uses: Coffee Essential Oil has a multitude of possible uses. It can be burned as a room deodorizer and is considered to be an excellent anti-oxidant. It has also been used to combat depression, respiratory issues, stings, fevers, and general nausea.

Consistency: Medium

Note: Medium

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Coffee Essential Oil is best appreciated when used independently.

Aromatic Scent: Coffee Essential Oil smells just like a fresh brewed pot of coffee. It is both warming and invigorating.

History: The history surrounding coffee is vast. An Islamic monk was vexed by his inability to stay awake during his prayers. One day he saw a goat shepherd dancing with his goats and was told a specific bean caused the happiness. Convinced that Mohammed had sent him this herb as a gift to keep him awake, the monastery was thereafter called the home of the Wakeful Monks, as they would drink coffee as they prayed. (A similar legend exists in China regarding tea.) African warriors would mix mashed coffee berries with animal fat, roll them into balls, and eat them before battle. All of Latin America's coffee industry emerged from one tree in a Dutch botanical garden. The name Coffee comes from Caffa, an Abyssinian province.

Cautions: Coffee Essential Oil should be avoided during pregnancy. It may also cause heart palpitations in some individuals.

Usage Directions: Since this essential oil has a slightly thick consistency, We would recommend placing the bottle in a very hot water bath, changing the water frequently and once it is back to the liquid state be sure to shake before use.

This is going in my purse so I sniff during the day when I need to be re-energized at work. It reminds me of walking into the kitchen first thing in the morning and smelling the coffee brewing-best part of my whole day. I love it and my daughter keeps grabbing the bottle so she can smell it.

Not sure you could find a scent more true to coffee than this! I'm excited to try this with vanilla in a milk based soap. Instead of a Tim's Double Double it'll be an Amy's Double Double.

I can't stress enough how wonderful this e/o is! If you love coffee like I do this is like a very strong and bold cup put into a tiny jar! Just a wiff of this gives a relaxing feel. I am personally fond of this in lip balms, sugar scrubs, and lotions! NDA is also by far the cheapest supplier for this too!

I got this oil because I thought it would make a great soap, and wow was I right. Smells like fresh brewed black coffee. I mixed it with peppermint EO and it make's an amazing soap to wake you up. One of the best I have ever used.

Really like this. Doesn't have the sweet coffee smell of a FO, but a more "real" black coffee. Used 7% in my soap (crock method) & it smells good, but think I may move it up to 9% to get more up front scent. May try it later as a lip balm at maybe 1% mixed with another foodie eo.

Nice stuff! Does smell just like coffee. I had to remove the dropper cap to get it out of the bottle, though. A little thick. I like blending it with the NDA cocoa absolute, or vanilla 10 fold, or sweet orange, or cinnamon, or anything else "foody."

I love this it smell just like fresh ground coffee. The oil is very thick so getting it out of the bottle was a little tricky but it smells great, I am glad I got it for my coffee fragrance, I can't say that a little went a long way but it was well worth the money spent.

If your looking for a good strong coffee scent look no farther! This essential oil is bold, strong, intense, and as true to the coffee you brew at home! It's pricy but New Directions is one if the cheapest pricer you will find! But rest assure with even a 1/2 ounce of this thick oil it is sure to stretch! Just a wif if this stuff is enough to give you a burst of energy! I will be definitely be buying more!

Coffee essential oil has moved into my number one spot for all-time favorite EOs. The scent reminds me of my days working as a barista. Those were good times, so for me, this is scent brings back happy thoughts. It smells a lot like fresh ground French Roast coffee beans...very dark, strong, uplifting, and warming. Smells good enough to drink. Thanks for offering this wonderful oil, NDA!

The first time I smelled this oil I thought of a relaxing time sitting in a little French Restaurant by the seashore. I know a body salt scrub is going to be so uplifting in the morning as I use this oil--I'll probably make it a part of my every morning routine! AA+++ Great Smell!!!!

From the first moment I smelled the luscious Coffee aroma of this oil, I had wild imaginings of lip balms, soaps and body butters... now all three have manifested & they are even better than I could have imagined... The Shea Souffle Latte Body Butter is absolutely a turn-on if you love that first cuppa in the morning like I do! And the Luscious Latte lip balm is bound to be a big seller with the all natural coffee pick me up and tamanu added! This is the best product! Yay for New Directions! yay!

Just received my first order and wow, what an incridible EO. This will get much use. I recently gave up caffeine and this actually helps in reducing the cravings, just by inhaling it. Very good quality.

Coffee essential oil doesn't get more true than this. If you like coffee, this is for you. In fact, just smelling makes me want some coffee. In the polo black fragrance (ralph lauren) coffee is mixed with mango. You don't have to smell it to know it's delightful. Note: mango is a synthetic scent. You get what you pay for with this one.

We love this essential oil! We had ordered a coffee butter (coffee oil in hydrogenated soybean oil) from another supplier a while ago and were very unhappy with the strong "black coffee" scent, but we decided to give NDA's coffee eo a chance... we are VERY pleased with it. It has a rich, full-bodied... like a mellow Colombian coffee smell. Just a hint of sweet. I can't wait to try this in a coffee scrub and in a lip balm. I know my customers will go crazy for it. I definitely recommend this eo!

I also love this coffee essential oil. Smells even better than the real thing. Super rich and full bodied. I used it in my bath salts & body scrubs class. It's great in a all-natural coffee sugar scrub with some ground coffee to add to the look and exfoliation. Caffeinated bath/body products are all the buzz right now (pun intended!). I would definitely buy this product again and highlyl recommend it!

Wonderful oil, I use this to "clear the palatte" so to speak when dealing with many different essential oils. (You can also use fresh ground beans for the same effect), but COFFEE ABSOLUTEor Coffea arabica is FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. It's great to use with Balms, Candles, Ointments, Lip Balms, Skin Cream, and Soaps. Good quality.
