raw coffee?

[Raw Kyle]

I saw this a couple of months ago at Whole Foods and gave it a try. I've been drinking some coffee recently to keep awake during full day study sessions and lab work (during which I could fall asleep while pinching my ear if I'm not careful). http://www.chameleoncoldbrew.com/where-to-buy-2/
There are other brands and I searched online and found recipes for making your own but this is the only stuff I've tried so far. Tastes like coffee, I mix it with milk (usually raw but w/e) and honey. If you use raw honey and milk you could have a fully raw coffee drink that is taste wise the same as chilled "regular" coffee.

Anyone try it?

Do they actually call it raw anywhere?  Looking at the site it just seems like the brew it at a lower temperature for longer.  I don't see it written anywhere what that temperature actually is.

That sounds good!Havent had coffee since i went raw!

The beans aren't raw so the coffee isn't raw. It's just long brewed that's all. Sorry folks - coffee just aint raw. The only way you get regular coffee is to roast the beans.

There actually are one or two raw chocolates - doesn't mean they are good for you - but they at least are raw. Most of the ones that say they are raw really aren't too. Hard to wade through the propaganda sometimes.

Seriously.  Oh my goodness, the only topic around which more BS exists in the USA is religion. Heh.

 At least with religion, you don't have to encounter it daily in order to live.  Not so with food.  The bastards have us over a barrel.  WE run their gauntlet of BS just to get through our daily lives, every day.

Nah, I'm not bitter.

They sure do,cherimoya kid,it really SUCKS!The food that is deemed safe,is so damn expensive.I guess thats to discourage people from eating healthy.Its a vicious cycle,chemical infested meat is made available at a  bargain price,as well as vegs and fruits.People get sick and theres the medical doctors drooling to make money off of you by polluting your body even more with medicine.
