Coffee Health Benefits:
we have started roasting our coffee for ourselves than our friends chimed in :). The main reason for us is health, secondary is taste :). We choose coffee varieties and producers that have high content of poliphenols and low coffeine content. On top, we roast our coffee always medium-light – you will not find on our coffee beans any oil :).
- we choose Bourbon varieties, as they have high polyphenols and low caffeine content
- we select farms that offer fermented coffee cheries, as this has been shown to increase polyphenols.
- we roast medium-light as this is shown to preserve polyphenols.
