Roaster thoughts :
Graded coffees are often lead to a more even roast and also grinds evenly post roasting. 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 11.30 minutes with variable drum speeds by roasting 2 separate batches and then cupped the coffees. No to our surprise the 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.
