The Bean
With the help of local Brazilian farmers partnered with the Rainforest Alliance, Tayst’s vanilla coffee blend has the privilege of being grown by real farmers who are passionate about growing high-quality vanilla coffee beans and making sure their farmland can be sustainable for generations to come. Good coffee starts with good farming practices, and good farming practices are the only way we can help keep to our sustainability mission: to make better coffee that’s affordably priced and 100% sustainable, and eco-friendly.

The Vanilla Oils
Unlike our competitors, we make sure our vanilla-flavored coffee is made with all-natural ingredients, no chemicals or artificial ingredients included. Tayst Coffee’s vanilla coffee blend is made by infusing our ethically sourced coffee beans with vanilla oils. Vanilla oil is made by having vanilla beans scraped into a pan of oil, which then cooks on low heat for about five minutes or so. After the vanilla bean flavor has been extracted from the oil, the oil needs to be cooled for at least six hours, and then we have all-natural vanilla oil.

Our vanilla coffee beans might be all about flavor, but they may pack an unexpected punch of health benefits for you. A primary component of vanilla beans, vanillin, has several beneficial properties to it:

Anti-Inflammatory
Studies have shown that vanillin has anti-inflammatory properties in it, which may help reduce the chance of heart disease, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and more!

Antioxidant-Rich
Vanilla is packed with antioxidants. By helping your body to produce free radicals, antioxidants may help reduce the chances of getting cancer.

Neuroprotective Properties
Vanilla has been even found in some studies to benefit brain health. Vanillin may protect against neurodegenerative diseases as well, such as Huntington’s disease or Parkinson’s.

It’s a sad reality, but many flavored-infused coffee brands out there cut corners and add artificial flavors to their products. . Many times, this flavor enhancer uses a chemical solvent carrier called propylene glycol, which has slowly developed health concerns in recent years. Not only is the artificial taste of vanilla ground coffee easy to notice, but this artificial flavor is usually used to cover up the taste of inferior coffee. In many instances, this inferior coffee comes from massive coffee plantations in South America that cover many acres of destroyed rainforests, which not only exploit the Earth’s natural resources and beauty, but exploit the farmers who work the fields.

All Natural
The hazelnut ground coffee that’s put into our compostable* coffee cups< is flavored with a combination of oils and dusting made from 100% all-natural. Our unrefined and minimally processed hazelnut oils are made using a delicate process of roasting hazelnuts to golden perfection, then pressed down to extract pure hazelnut oil. The result is an unrefined oil that tastes of pure hazelnut flavor. No chemicals and no artificial flavors are added.

Health Benefits of Drinking Hazelnut Coffee
While all coffees can be good for you (in moderation), the addition of real hazelnuts to our flavored coffee adds a few more benefits that can’t be ignored.

Hazelnut Coffee is Good for Your Heart
Hazelnuts are a great source of fatty omega-3s. Omega-3s are a great addition to any diet due to their number of heart-healthy benefits and have been shown to help reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

Hazelnuts May Help Alleviate Joint Pain and Strengthen Bones
Hazelnuts are naturally rich in the mineral manganese, with one serving of hazelnuts containing over 90% of the daily recommended intake of manganese. This mineral is necessary for bone formation in the body, and is also helpful in alleviating joint pain.

Hazelnuts May Be Good for Your Skin
They are packed with vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C, which are some of the best vitamins you can get for daily skin care. Helping to heal skin, prevent wrinkles, and delay your skins aging process, the benefits of these naturally occurring vitamins in hazelnuts are great for you.

There is a harsh reality about most hazelnut coffee beans that can’t be ignored: many hazelnut coffee blends are made with extracted hazelnut flavoring, usually made with artificial chemicals to create that hazelnut flavor. Not only do these competitors add low quality artificial ingredients in their hazelnut flavored coffee, but they also usually use low quality coffee beans as well. These artificial flavors are used to mask the substandard beans they are using, which are usually farmed from massive coffee plantations with no consideration for the environment.
