The ultra-pure composition of the minerals changes the way your taste buds and palate perceive the coffee's existing, natural flavor compounds. For example, chloride ions enhance the perception of sweetness, while magnesium and calcium in the right ratios highlight acidity or mouthfeel respectively. You add nothing artificial – you simply sharpen your palate's perception and unlock the coffee bean's true potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use APAX LAB (Instructions)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo chemistry degree is needed to master APAX LAB.
