The present disclosure presents compositions and methods for improving cognitive function and/or alertness of a human. In one embodiment, a method comprises: administering to the human in need of an improved condition an edible composition, wherein the composition comprises: caffeine and/or a derivative thereof; and a polyphenol, wherein the composition has a weight ratio of the total polyphenol to the total caffeine from about 1:10 to about 10:1. In some embodiments, the polyphenol is a chlorogenic acid (CGA).

A coffee cherry is harvested, preferably in a sub-ripe state, and quick-dried to provide a basis for numerous nutritional products. Such coffee cherries and portions thereof may be particularly characterized by their extremely low concentration of mycotoxins, including various aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins, and/or vomitoxin (DON, deoxynivalenol).

A composition includes green coffee extract and yerba mate extract, and is suitable for mixing or infusing with a base liquid to obtain an edible drink with an energizing and stimulating effect. A drink is made with such a composition.

A composition of matter comprising a steepable organically based substance, such as a tea, as well as an apparatus and method of making the composition of matter is disclosed. In one embodiment, the composition of matter, apparatus and method are directed to a steepable organically based substance comprising an organic material, a lipid, and a powdered lipid. In certain embodiments, the organic material and lipids are mixed together, heated and agitated binding the lipid, such as an MCT oil, to the organic material and decarboxylating the compound. The decarboxylated compound is then cooled. The decarboxylated compound is then ground to a desired size (which in some embodiments may be as fine as a powder) which is then mixed with a powdered lipid, such as an MCT powder, to produce a steepable organic substance. In certain embodiments, the organic material comprises cannabis, and the steepable organic substance resulting from the disclosed process is a steepable cannabis tea.
