Canadian Stockbroker © | TCS newswire; Calgary, alberta, Canada; Reishi Coffea

The Coffee Bean ©The different types of Reishi
In ancient times, only wild Reishi was available. Reishi was classified by color into 6 types:
Red, Green, White, Black, Yellow and Purple.

In 1972, researchers at Kyoto University in Japan successfully cultivated Reishi in the laboratory. From a single species, Ganoderma Lucidum (Red Reishi), all six colors could be grown by varying the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide content, and the available nutrients. The six types of Reishi are thus shown to be one species.

Red, Green, White, Black, Yellow and Purple.

Wild Reishi is extremely rare. Only one or two mushrooms can be found on a hill. Due to damage by insects and weather, the quality of wild Reishi is unpredictable. Only the fruit body can be harvested, when the active ingredients have already decreased. The dried mushrooms may not have the potency of the fresh mushroom.

When buying wild Reishi, expertise is required in order not to confuse Reishi with the hundreds of other mushrooms (some of which are poisonous). After it matures, the fruit body is hardened by fibers which make it more difficult to extract and digest the active ingredients. The spores are of microscopic dimensions, similar to the size of bacteria. They are protected by two layers of hardened cell walls. These cell walls trap the active ingredients inside and are indigestible.

Although wild Reishi fruit body and the spores are all effective products, our ancestors had to use a large quantity of Reishi to get a little benefit. As it was impossible to cultivate, this rare mushroom was available only to emperors.

Modern bio-engineering technology has made Reishi available to the general public in large quantities. The quality can be carefully controlled by providing the best conditions and sufficient nutrients. The largest amount of active ingredients exists in the mycelium, and that the mycelium is more digestible. The extraction process can be timed at the precise stage when the mycelium contains the largest amount of active ingredients. Fresh mycelium is available, and there is no chance for mistaken identity.

Eek! Monster! Destroy the unnatural thing immediately! 'Scientists discover decaf coffee bean' (The Guardian)

We must prevent this Frankenjava wreaking environmental havoc, spreading its genetic pollution and lowering plants' natural defences against predation - global food security and the entire natural food web is at risk! Call Greenpeas, Pals of the Planet, the Toil Association, call all the defenders of pp (proper plants, i.e., ones like what we're used to) and rally them to the cause! We must prevent the spread of Frankenbeans, the sons and daughters of Frankenjava, lest the world be decaffeinated! Caffeine-free Frankenjava will require massive increases in synthetic pesticide use, endangering the environment and human health while allowing multinational Big Decaf to seize control of coffee production! Help protect impoverished, seed-saving coffee growers everywhere (not to mention usually-wired computer users) - Stop Big Decaf now!

Donations for the (yet to be formed) SPOC (Society for the Preservation Of Caffeine) will be accepted shortly (Seattle could levy a dime-a-cup on all decaf served in commercial establishments to be paid directly to SPOC to support this important action) - watch this space!

Things to do: start a consumer campaign to extract promises from coffee chains, roasters and traders to boycott mutant beans - provisionally called the 'No Frankenbeans in our cups' campaign; start catchy signature phrases - perhaps 'Frankenbeans are hasbeans!' or 'Hey, hey, ho, ho, Frankenjava's got to go!'; come up with sound bite health risks from Frankenbeans such as increased auto crashes with drivers falling asleep at the wheel, facial injuries as people collapse onto computer keyboards...

Say No! to this massive, uncontrolled experiment with the biosphere! No environmental risk assessment and no animal or human health trials have ever been conducted! Tell Big Decaf 'Stay out of our cups"

Ling Zhi or Ling Chi

Ganoderma lucidum is an ancient Chinese herb revered for many centuries for its exceptional healing properties.

Japanese call it REISHI (from the ancient goddess of health, life and eternal youth, Reishi or "Sen shi") and in China as Ling Zhi "Ling Chi" (‘Ling’ means divine gift; ‘chi’ means life force), it is also called the “Herb of Deathlessness” for its reputed ingredients that will make a person live FOREVER.

Its botanical name; Ganoderma Lucidum Gano; "Ganos" is a Greek word meaning ‘bright’, Derma means ‘skin’ and "Lucidum" means ‘shining’. Ganoderma Lucidum; Reishi; Ling Zhi or Ling Chi are all actually the name of a mushroom; a fleshy fungus of the Polyporacea family, and has the chief job of being a wood decomposer. The mushroom feeds and nourishes itself from decaying logs. It prefers to grow, in the wild – under the shade of tree branches and in the dim lighting of a mountain side.

Vancouver — A silent tectonic event, so powerful it has shifted southern Vancouver Island out to sea, but so subtle nobody has felt a thing, is slowly unfolding on the West Coast.

Scientists who are tracking the event with sensitive seismographs and earth orbiting satellites warn it could be a trigger for a massive earthquake -- some time, maybe soon.

But they are quick to add that the imperceptible tremors emanating from deep beneath the surface are sending signals scientists are not yet able to comprehend fully and 'the Big One' might yet be 200 years off.

What they do know is that the earth is moving this week on the West Coast as two massive tectonic plates slip past each other."

Coffee Bean: Calgary Alberta Canada ; TCS :

Coffee beans were chewed raw for centuries in Ethiopia and Yemen. An excavation in the Ethiopian highlands where coffee grows wild indicates human gatherers have been eating coffee berries over a hundred thousand years. The fleshy pulp surrounding the coffee bean in Ethiopian coffee has higher sugar content. Being sweet, being nutritious with seeds, nuts and berries generally eaten by humans some speculate for over a million years.

Ugandans were noticed chewing dried coffee beans when the first explorers from Europe were searching for the origins of the Nile River. Green coffee beans were ground up and mixed with fat to macerate, then made into small balls, which were eaten by travelers on long journeys. Some say this is the first trail mix where is the raisins.

Stories in the Southern Arabian Peninsula known as Yemen where Europeans first found the coffee plant cultivated seem to support the "coffee bean" being traded as early as 800 BC. Facts and many stories support trade between Yemen and Ethiopia during this time. Knowing that eating the coffee berry reacts on people and animals, it would be logical that those early traders attempted to trade for this item. Additionally, evidence does not support the coffee plant growing wild in Yemen but demonstrate it must have grown under cultivation instead.

No specific historic event is remembered causing coffee export to Southern Arabia but Ethiopia did invaded Southern Arabia in 525 AD. Some speculated that coffee could have been introduced to the Arabians at this time. Many historians say coffee may have been introduced into Arabia by slave traders who raided Africa in early1000 BC.
Snippets which strongly supporting theories that coffee spread very early in the civilized world trade are coffee's affect on the Arabian people's culture, agriculture, Trade practices and old Arabic stories.

COFFEE ROASTS

Naming coffee by the way it is roasted is quite common. Although there is a scientific side to roasting coffee, there is also a story side. bean roast.

Like drinking one type of coffee, there are whole ethnicities which went from cradle to grave drinking one type of roast. Many of these coffee names reflect the country which this roast was prevalent; French roast, American roast, and Italian roast, Java roast. As people started to get individualized, cities started to name roasts; City roast (New York), Atlanta roast, Viennese roast, and New Orleans roast. Cities in other countries started doing the same thing.

Roasting is simply a matter of slow cooking the coffee bean. As the coffee bean roasts, like everything else which is cooked, there is a chemical reaction. The characters of the various coffee beans change. The longer the coffee has bean is cooked (ha), the more the chemicals change the character. This chemical reaction creates the various different 600 plus compounds which change the quality and taste.

The degree of roast and the roast name, simple describe how much the bean is roasted. As the bean roasts, it turns brown. Obviously, the darker the coffee bean gets the longer it was roasting. However, roasting the coffee bean isn't a simple mater of sticking it in a device and roasting it. The coffee bean actually roasts differently if roasted at two different temperatures until the color is the same. The bean goes from endothermic to exothermic during the roasting process. Endothermic means heat absorbing and exothermic meaning heat producing. The coffee bean actually creates its own heat by chemical reaction similar to that of “heat of hydration’ during cement curing or as detergent does if you hold it wet.

Depending upon the reaction desired, the coffee roasting creates the "essence of the coffee bean." The essence of the coffee bean is seen as the coffee oils. Later, coffee oils became coffeeol. These are oils however, they also are water soluble. Regulating the roasting procedure produces more or less of the coffee oil for a given coffee bean. Additionally, the chemical process makes the coffee bean brittle. When the coffee bean becomes brittle it is easier to grind.

Coffee Bean: Calgary Alberta Canada

Coffee beans have bean eaten raw for centuries in Ethiopia and Yemen. An excavation in the Ethiopian highlands where coffee grows wild indicates human gathers have been eating coffee berries over a hundred thousand years. The fleshy pulp around the coffee bean in Ethiopian coffee has high sugar content. Being sweet, being nutritious, and seeds, nuts, grapes and berries being generally eaten by humans for over a million years sort of supports this theory.
Ugandans were noticed chewing dried coffee beans when the first explorers from Europe were searching for the origin of the Nile River. Green coffee beans were ground up and mixed with fat, then made into small balls, which were eaten by travelers on long journeys. Some say this is the first trail mix.
Stories in the Southern Arabian Peninsula known as Yemen where Europeans first found the coffee plant cultivated support the coffee bean being traded in early 800 BC. Facts support trade between Yemen and Ethiopia during this time. Knowing the coffee berries reacted when ingested by themselves, it would be logical that those early traders would attempt to trade this item. Additionally, evidence does not support the coffee plant would grow wild in Yemen but was cultivated instead. Although, it is possible that a lost larger size bird could have carried the coffee berries that far, it is not likely.
No specific historic event is involved in coffee arriving in Southern Arabia but Ethiopia did invaded Southern Arabia in 525 AD. Many speculate that coffee could have been introduced to Arabia at this time. Some historians say coffee was introduced into Arabia by slave traders who raided Africa as early as 1000 BC.
The two things that support the theory that coffee spread very early in civilized trade are coffee's affect on people and many old Arabian stories.

Wild Mushrooms and Coffee

The actual discovery of coffee is vague, however most accounts point to a quaint legend of a goatherder in the 1400's who noticed his goats acting more lively than usual. He looked over to see some of the herd chewing on bushes heavy with red berries. Curious, he plucked a few berries for himself and after chewing on them, noticed his energy increase substantially. He took the berries to a local monastery where the chief medicinal monk boiled the berries in water and produced an aromatic but bitter liquid, which when drunk acted as a stimulant and warded off drowsiness and fatigue.
To enjoy a very healthful and healing brew,
