Coffee plants are native to the tropical regions of South America, Asia and Africa. The plant is a small shrub that typically reaches 3-4 meters in height. The seeds of the coffee plant are commonly referred to as beans. Roasting coffee beans changes the chemical and aromatic composition of the beans.

Location: New York, NY I know what good roasted coffee smells like, too bad this isn''''t it. Very bitter too. Oil from green beans is much better, not bitter, and more natural.
I wasted my money.
FNWL Response: Linas, Coffee Oils are aromatic, but they are used primarily for their nutritive benefit, not for how close their aroma smells to actual roasted coffee beans.

Location: Baltimore, MD I purchased this oil to make coffee lip balms. Even adding a full half ounce plus coffee butter to a batch of 35 balms only yielded a mild coffee aroma making this a very expensive addition to balms.
FNWL Response: Barbara, Coffee Oils are aromatic, but they are used primarily for their nutritive benefit. If you're looking for intense aromas, try our Flavor Oils. I've made lip balms using our Coffee Bean Butter as the primary butter and they turned out amazing, but since these aren't artificially flavored, please do not expect them to compete in intense aroma to strongly fragranced commercial products.
