High altitude effect
Coffee grown above 1,200 metres develops slowly, helping create denser beans with higher concentrations of polyphenols and chlorogenic acids (CGA).
From altitude to antioxidants
Coffee grown above 1,200 metres develops slowly, helping create denser beans with higher concentrations of polyphenols and chlorogenic acids (CGA).
Dark roasting can destroy up to 90% of chlorogenic acid. A light-to-medium roast helps preserve this naturally occurring antioxidant.
CGA may support cellular cleanup, help regulate blood sugar by slowing glucose absorption, and support heart and vascular health by helping blood vessels relax.
