Roaster thoughts :
Roasting a coffee at light medium with a desired DTR is never an easy outcome to achieve. When planning this roast we were quite cautious of the DROP temperature because it is essential to have a perfect roast. A roast lower can render the coffee slightly under or a degree up can make it a medium roast which makes it loose its essence. Also of course, before finalizing the roast we did cup the coffee at different levels, but it was different this time. This is time the difference between batches was marginal, as there was less room to play when it came to heat, but we created more parameters with starting temperatures. Overall, it was a great experience and we are quite pleased with the outcome. The release of aroma when hot water comes in contact with coffee is dense and fruity. When the crust is broken into, there is a release citrus fruit like aroma. The taste resembles bright green grapes with a sweet white tea finish and pleasant lingering sweetness. Total roast time of 9.26 seconds with 10-12% DTR.
