Roast Descriptions

  • Light Roast (light city/cinnamon roast): Cinnamon color, intense aromatics, good body, lively acidity
  • Medium (city) Roast: Brown in color, increased body, nutty aromatics, complex flavor. Most of the natural flavors of the coffee are experienced at this roast level.
  • Medium Dark (full city) Roast: Deeper shade of brown, oils appear on surface of each bean. Slightly smoky, flavor is rich and full.
  • Dark Roast: Darkest roast - also known as Espresso, Italian & French roasts depending on the Roaster: Beans are fully coated in oil and have a strong carbony flavor.
