Light Roast Arabica Coffee Beans

Light roast arabica coffee beans are the (relatively) new kid on the block. Light roasts are an artisanal blend of roasting, multi-origin blends and blending.

The roasting process produces new sugars while removing some of the natural sugars found in the coffee bean. This is why a lighter roast can be sweeter than its dark roast counterpart.

Light Roast

A light roast is a coffee that has been lightly-roasted to preserve the natural flavors of beans. They, as their name implies are lighter in weight and can be enjoyed using various brewing methods, such as drip, espresso french presses, pour overs. Light roasts are generally characterized by brighter and more fruity flavor notes and can highlight the characteristics of a coffee's source more than darker roasts.

If you weigh your coffee and scoop it up, a scoop of a light roast will contain more caffeine than a scoop of a dark roast (because it is heavier). If you measure by volume, the two will be roughly the same amount of caffeine.

The key to a good light roast is in the roasting process. This is why it is crucial to choose a roaster you trust, because poorly executed light roasts can be characterized by a strong burnt or bitter taste that can overwhelm the other qualities that are desirable to the coffee.

Dark Roast

A dark roast is a form of coffee that has been roasted for longer than light roasted beans. This lets a more intricate flavor profile to be created. This results in a coffee that is rich and bold in taste and less acidity than a lighter roast coffee. This kind of coffee is perfect for those who like a strong cup to begin their day.

When you are choosing a roast that is dark, you should also be aware that the higher the roasting level the more caffeine will be in your coffee. This is because the beans that are roasted are exposed to a greater amount of heat, which causes more of the caffeine to be released. Additionally, the darker a roast, the more pronounced the bitterness will be.

Washed Coffee

Coffee beans that have been washed have gone through a process referred to as "wet processing." After picking, the cherries are de-pulped and then fermented in tanks filled with water to break down the sticky mucilage that covers them. Then, the beans are dried and cleaned to remove any remaining pectin. This method is very popular among specialty roasters. It's a great option for anyone who wants an uncluttered, crisp, acidic taste profile with moderate sweetness and body.

Depending on the length of fermentation and how much mucilage remains on the seeds, different flavor compounds are created. These can have floral, earthy, fruity or even nutty notes. This allows washed-coffees to express a great deal of terroir, and varietal typicity. Natural processed coffees can produce distinct flavors due to the fruity pulp that surrounds the bean.

After the mucilage is removed, the beans are dried by soaking in large tanks of water (as in the washed method) or spread out on patios or raised beds in the sun, and turned frequently. This is done until seeds attain a moisture level between 10 and 12%.

Roasting is the last step. As the roasting process occurs the temperature inside the bean will increase, and a cracking noise is heard. This is when vapors begin to break through the outer shell of the bean. This is called the first crack.

When this happens after which the beans are now ready to be enjoyed. Light roasts will taste fresh and fruity as they haven't been cooked long enough for the oils to develop.
