Light Roast artisanal arabica coffee beans Coffee Beans

Light roast arabica coffee beans are the (relatively) new kid on the block. Light roasts are a delicate balance between artisan roasting, multi-origin blends, and mixing.

The process of roasting creates new sugars and removes some of the natural sugars found in the coffee bean. This is the reason why light roasts are more sweet than dark roasts.

Light Roast

A light roast is coffee that has been lightly-roasted to preserve the natural flavor of beans. These coffees, as their name suggests are lighter in body and can be enjoyed using various brewing methods, including drip, espresso, french presses, and pour overs. Light roasts typically have more vibrant and fruity flavors and can emphasize the characteristics of a coffee's origin more than darker roasts.

This is especially true when working with micro lot or single-estate coffees. This roast level can also help bring out subtle and complex flavors that are often lost during roasting dark. No matter what you prefer each roast level produces unique and delicious coffees.

Light roasts also have a sharp acidity and a soft flavor. They can provide you with a boost of energy, without the sluggish feeling that comes with dark roasts. This is why they are an excellent choice for those who want to start their day with a little extra energy and a fresh taste.

There is some truth to the notion that a lighter roast contains more caffeine than a darker roast. This is a bit confusing because it's based on the way you measure your coffee. If you weigh your coffee then a scoop of light roast will contain more caffeine than a scoop of a dark roast (because it's heavier). If you measure by volume, both will have approximately the same amount.

The key to a good light roast lies in the roasting process. This is why it is essential to select a roaster you trust, as poorly executed light roasts can have a strong burnt or bitter taste that can overwhelm the other qualities that are desirable to the coffee. We love to work with small, family-owned roasters who are committed to high-quality coffee.

Our Extra Mile Kenyan is a perfect example of a carefully crafted light roast. It has a soft mouthfeel and sweet notes of stonefruit and baker's chocolat. It's also sourced from a sustainable arabica coffee beans and ethical farm that is committed to sustainable farming.

Medium Roast

Medium roasts are often referred to as the "just-right" coffee because it's the perfect blend of light and dark roast. It has the traditional, familiar diner-style flavor notes of dark roast, but with more balance and subtlety, medium roasts offer a wide range of exciting aromas and flavors.

The medium roast arabica beans are roasted at lower temperatures and for a shorter amount of time than roasts that are dark. The beans are heated to about 385 degrees and then they begin to pop. (This is called the first crack). Beans that are roasted to this level will have a light brown hue and will not have any oil on their surfaces.

This level of roasting keeps the distinctive aroma and taste notes of the original coffee bean. This includes fruity and floral aromas and flavors that are indigenous to the region of origin. Lightly roasting beans also have more acidity and a mellow body.

Depending on the beans you use, medium roasts may have flavors such as chocolate, caramel and hints of spice. It is important to note that these flavors are more muted than in a light roast due to the fact that the beans have been roast for a longer time.

Apart from the boldness and richness of dark roasted coffee medium-dark flavored coffee may be bittersweet and have a strong taste that can make it unpalatable for certain palates. Dark roasted coffee is distinguished by its deep oily appearance, and flavors of bittersweet chocolate, smoke, and dark caramel.

If you're looking for a smooth and balanced cup of coffee that's more light than dark but not as delicate as light roast, our medium roast premium arabica coffee beans blend coffee is the ideal option. Our Happy Place blend is created using single-origin beans from farms with high elevations that are Rainforest Alliance Certified and practice completely regenerative farming. It has flavors of blackberry, guava, and cocoa, with a soft ending.

Regardless of the roasting level, all kinds of coffee have similar amounts of caffeine. The caffeine content of coffee beans is determined by their natural levels, as well as the amount of oxygen beans absorb when they are roast.

Dark Roast

Dark roast coffee is one that has been roasted longer than light roast beans. This allows the coffee to develop a more complex flavor profile. This results in a coffee that has an intense, strong flavor, and less acidity as compared to a light-roasted bean. This type of coffee will suit those who like a strong cup to start the day.

Dark roasted coffee has a distinctive brown color and an oily surface, giving it its signature rich and classic diner style taste. The roasting process for this kind of coffee is what makes it so distinct, and it's important to choose a quality coffee that has been roast correctly in order to get the full flavor.

If a coffee is dark roasted, it has to be roast until the beans begin to crack. This is a sign that the coffee beans are well-roasted and are ready to be prepared to be brewed. Dark roasted coffee must have a soft mouthfeel and a balance of bitter and sweet flavors.

The key to finding the best dark roasted coffee is to focus on selecting beans of high-quality that have been roasted to the ideal temperature. This will allow the unique and exotic characteristics of the beans, without being overpowered by an over-roasted taste.

In addition to the roasting process It is also essential to think about the origin of the beans as well as where they were grown in order to find the best dark-roasted coffee. Certain regions are better in the dark roasting process because of their sweetness while others have a rich, complex flavor that can match the intensity.

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

Washed Coffee

Washed coffee beans are the result of a process known as "wet processing". After picking the cherries, they are de-pulped in tanks before being fermented to melt any sticky mucilage that covers them. The process is followed by a rinse to remove the remaining pectin and then drying. This is a very popular method among specialty roasters and is it is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for clean, crisp and acidic flavor profiles that have moderate amounts of sweetness and body.

Based on the duration of fermentation and the amount of mucilage is left on the seeds, various flavor compounds are produced. These can have fruity, earthy, floral or even some nutty notes. This is what allows washed coffees to express a lot of characteristics of terroir as well as the typicity of a varietal. This is in contrast to natural processed coffees which can create distinctive flavors due to the fruity pulp around the beans.

After the mucilage is removed, the beans are dried either by the soaking process in large tanks of water (as in the washed method) or spread out on patios or raised beds in the sun, and turned regularly. This process is repeated until the seeds have a moisture content between 10-12%.

Roasting is the last step. As the roasting process occurs the temperature inside the bean will rise and crackling sounds can be heard. This is when the vapors begin to break through the outer shell of the bean. This is known as the first crack.

After this then the beans can be enjoyed. Light roasts are fresh and fruity because they haven't been roasted for long enough to produce the oils. Medium roasts are more bready and have a deeper and richer taste because they have been roasted longer, and darker roasts can be very sweet or even smoky depending on how dark they have been roasted.

All of this creates a wide range of tastes and scents, so it is up to you to find the coffee that best suits your preferences! We suggest trying a range of our single-origin light medium and dark roasts to see what the unique flavors of each will bring to you.
