Best Coffee to drink ?
- The better option is for a 100% arabica, unwashed bean roasted at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give you the best chlorogenic acid to caffeine ratio available from the various processing methods.
- An even better option would be if you can obtain this coffee in a decaffeinated version using the Swiss-water decaffeination method, which does not involve the use of harmful solvents to remove the caffeine.
- Another option is to choose Green Coffee
