What is chaff?
Chaff is the dry, papery outer skin of a coffee bean that naturally separates during roasting. In traditional roasting methods, it often burns on the beans, leaving behind a bitter, burnt taste.
At Gigawatt, we remove the chaff during our air roasting process, ensuring a cleaner, smoother, and more flavorful cup of coffee.
FAQ
What are the benefits of shade-grown coffee?
Shade-grown coffee benefits both the environment and the quality of the coffee itself. Growing coffee under natural tree cover protects plants from harsh sunlight, encourages slower bean development for better flavor, and supports local wildlife habitats. Shade-grown farming also helps prevent soil erosion and maintain healthier ecosystems.
What is natural process coffee?
Natural process coffee is dried inside the coffee cherry after harvest. The whole cherries are spread out under the sun, allowing the fruit’s natural sugars to infuse the beans. This traditional method enhances sweetness and produces a smooth, full-bodied cup.
