Roaster thoughts :
Roasting a coffee at light medium with a desired DTR is never an easy outcome to achieve. But on the contrary lighter roasted coffees possesses brighter acidity which works very well as pourover coffee. 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 quiet pleased with the outcome. You ground the coffee and the immediate release of aroma is sweet and lemony at the same time. 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 you taking a big bite of a Lime Crème brûlée with nice lingering sweetness and a hint citurs finish from the lime.
