How it brews

The same thick bonded Chemex paper as the white version, but left its natural brown color and cleaned with hot-water baths only (no oxygen cleanse). It shares the identical slow, high-clarity drawdown that defines a Chemex; flow is graded slow by community consensus, not a measured rate. The natural version exists for the squares and half-moon cuts (the pre-folded circles are white only). As with any thick paper, a thorough rinse before brewing is worth the extra water — it seats the filter and clears the papery note.
