Product Composition Note
Taste notes are indicative category directions; not a substitute for lot-specific cupping or buyer QC.
Grade guides buying, but final flavour is created by origin, lot quality, processing, roast and brewing. Always confirm via sample cupping.
Green coffee naturally contains chlorogenic-acid polyphenols; roasting changes and generally reduces their levels.
Both Arabica and Robusta contain caffeine. Robusta generally contains more caffeine than Arabica.
Composition-led wording only. No disease, weight-loss or therapeutic promises unless independently substantiated for your final product.
Reference basis: Coffee Board of India grading framework and peer-reviewed coffee composition literature. Natural-composition notes are informational, not medical or therapeutic claims.
