Juiced Up Coffee Packed With Antioxidants

LOS ANGELES - It's coffee with more than just a little kick.

One cup has more antioxidants than five cups of green tea or three glasses of pomegranate juice!

Is it coffee or it tea? With so many superfoods mixed together, the makers call it the healthiest drink you have all day. 

Tieman's fusion coffee is made with Arabica beans pumped up with super antioxidants like matcha, rooibos, and goji berries, all fused together to make different blends

For 30 years, he has been a health expert. And even though name is David Tieman, his goal is to create the healthiest coffee filled with antioxidants shown to support a healthy heart, mind and immune system.

"This coffee is so new and so different it's got a patent on it. In an FDA lab one 8 oz cup of this joe had so many antioxidants it was equal to 4 servings of fresh blueberries, 5 cups of green tea, or 3 glasses of pomegranate juice," Tieman says. "Yes, we're still talking coffee here."

To make fusion coffees, it takes a plant the size of four football fields. There are five blends, all natural, even kosher. The real question is – how does it taste and how does it make you feel?

"It tastes like coffee, not tea," Tieman says, "and it doesn't give you that quick buzz. Because of the ingredients, you get a longer sustained released that lasts not 45 minutes a drop but 4-6 hours."

But, we had to make sure, so we did our own taste test with the perfect test subjects – two parents who drink plenty of coffee and need it, since both are working and care for two kids.

"We like it, it takes like coffee."

"It's strong."

And we checked in three days later. They told us it gave them some good, nice energy throughout the day.

Fusion coffee is also a favorite of athletes.

With the mixture of coffee, matcha, rooibos, and goji berries, David Tieman says he's not trying to roast other coffees, just create a better one.

Tieman says, "I just want people to be able to drink coffee and feel good about it."
