Not coffee beans, caffeine.


Answers: Appearance-Odorless, white needles or powder Source(s):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/caffeine... well no-doze tablets are white so I'm thinking it may be white and powdered. In its pure form, caffeine is a white, bitter-tasting powder. Caffeine is a plant alkaloid, found in numerous plant species, where it acts as a natural pesticide with high caffeine levels being reported in seedlings that are still developing foliages which are lacking in mechanical protection;[4] caffeine paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding upon the plant.[5] High caffeine levels have also been found in the surrounding soil of coffee bean seedlings, it is therefore understood that caffeine has a natural function in both a natural pesticide and as an inhibitor of seed germination of other nearby coffee seedlings[6] thus giving it a better chance of survival
