Full Test Report, August 2026

All tests were carried out on a coffee sample submitted to P.H. s.r.l. in August 2026. P.H. s.r.l. is accredited by ACCREDIA, Italy's national accreditation body, and operates under TÜV SÜD. Results apply to the specific sample tested. Below LOQ means the result was under the laboratory's limit of quantification. That is the lowest level the method can reliably measure. Uncertainty values are given at the 95% confidence level (k=2).
