Roaster thoughts :
Graded coffees are often lead to a more even roast and also grinds evenly post roasting. Being natural processed coffees rate higher on a BRIX meter due to its sugar content and also have a higher moisture percentage comparatively. Slow roasting these LOTS with a lower drum speed and lighter roasts brings out the best. To achieve its full potential we followed a approach of roasting this coffee for a minimum of 8.30 mins with a extended Maillard phase. We took about 12 samples between 8.30 and 10.30 minutes with variable drum speeds by roasting 2 separate batches and then cupped the coffees. No to our surprise the light medium profiles were very flavorful, had bright acidity in them and overall balanced. These exceptional LOTS are now yours to brew with, experience and enjoy the final cup.
