Customer Q&A
June 14th, 2010 • Uncategorized, antioxidants, coffee fruit
With Bai continuing to move into new markets, we have been receiving nice feedback, as well as some good questions, from our customers. I shared one particularly nice note in a previous blog, and below I have copied some some examples of my recent exchanges with our customers, which address questions that many people often ask.
As David Letterman would say, remember, these are actual letters from actual customers.
Q: I love your beverage Bai-5. I buy 10 bottles each time, and stock up at work for my lunches. For the past few months, I’ve been adding nutritional supplements to my diet and was wondering what type of antioxidant is in the drink. I buy your product at Marazzo’s shopping center in N.J.
I told my coworkers about it and now they are starting to drink it as well. Â So far, everyone likes the taste.
Please let me know which antioxidant is in the drink because I want to make sure I balance out against the supplements I take. Thanks.
A: Wow, we really appreciate your business!
The antioxidants that are present in Bai are all derived from the fruit of the coffee. Polyphenols are natural plant antioxidants that are abundant in coffee fruit. Â The fruit is also rich in chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid, ferulic acid and quinic acid, all of which are potent antioxidants.
I hope this helps and please feel free to contact us with any other questions and/or comments.
Q: I was introduced to Bai5 today at the Crossroads Coffee House in Cross Plains, Wisconsin, and loved it! Â My question is: Â In that Bai5 drinks get their big antioxidant boost from the fruit of the coffee berry, is there caffeine in them? Â And if so, how much? Will be awaiting word. Thanks, Marcia.
A: Marcia, Good question. We use coffee fruit for its antioxidant goodness, not its caffeine content.
Coffee fruit is rich in polyphenols such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid and chlorogenic acids. These antioxidants make it one of nature’s secret superfruit. Each bottle of Bai contains 70mg of all-natural caffeine (similar to a mild cup of coffee or a cup of green tea). Â A majority of that caffeine (59mg) comes from white tea extract and the balance comes from coffee fruit (11mg.). The boost that you will get from Bai is a more balanced boost, similar to a cup of green tea, without the jitters or back-end crash.
Hope this helps and thank you for your interest in Bai. We appreciate your business.
