Did you know that Italian researchers credit a compound called trigonelline, which gives coffee its aroma and bitter taste, for having both antibacterial and anti-adhesive properties to help prevent dental cavities from forming.

| Urban legend has it that "dark" or "French" roasts are appropriate for espresso coffee. In truth, the darker the roast, the more the natural sugars are caramelized. A roast that is too dark for a coffee bean will effectively result in burnt coffee, and its flavor will be indistinguishable from inferior (even Robusta) burnt coffee. Veral Café roasts each farm's coffee beans to bring out the best in each coffee; in general, our artesans roast to a medium to medium-dark colour. |
