Light roast coffee is a light brown color and has no oil on the surface of the beans. These coffees typically have crisp acidity, a mellow body, and bright flavors.

These coffees are roasted in order to preserve the unique characteristics of the bean. As long as the beans were well grown, processed, and roasted, they can produce a very wide variety of flavors, aromas, aftertaste, and beyond.

Light roasting is beloved in the specialty coffee industry for its ability to bring more vibrant, unique flavors out of coffees. They highlight the unique characteristics of a coffee’s origin more than any other roast style.
