LIGHT ROAST
Do you like the taste of grass? Okay then, go forth and enjoy your cup of freshly mowed lawn…
You have be warned. These little beans are reasonably high density, going light will give you nothing but grassy notes.
If you really want to stick to a light profile, then go hard with heat early. Reducing down to a medium heat just before yellowing, and holding a good amount of development prior to first crack will start to tweak out some of the fruit that makes these beans special.
This is the perfect roast depth (in our opinion) for this bean!
A generous amount of heat early on will really set you you up for success.
Come into first crack with another whack of high heat, then ease up quickly to slow the development time down. Going for something around 12% to 17% will yield wonderful results in the cup!
Nope, not worth it.
Plain and simple.
If you must go down this dark route, keep the roast moving quickly.
