{"title":"Light Roast Coffee Beans","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes Light Roast Coffee Unique?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight roasted coffee beans generally have a light brown color and a dry, matte texture. Contrary to common belief, roast level has little impact on caffeine content, meaning light roasts contain nearly the same amount of caffeine as darker roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight roasts have the highest acidity, which carries bright, lively flavors. They are generally less bitter and sweeter, with a delicate, tea-like complexity that often features notes of citrus fruits, berries, and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen Should You Choose Light Roast Coffee Beans?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the ultimate deciding factor in choosing a roast level is the flavor profile and experience you like best, there are a few situations that lend themselves especially well to light roast coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light roast coffees are best enjoyed black, as their bright acidity can sometimes sour milk.

This is different from the washed process that is more common in Colombia. During the processing of the coffee cherries, the fruit remains intact with the seed throughout the entire drying process. The coffee is sorted to check for ripeness, and then dried on patios or raised beds while being constantly monitored and turned to prevent spoiling. The coffee cherries are then milled to separate, or “hull”, the now-dried fruit from the seeds.

The E.A. process includes soaking the unroasted coffee in a solution of water and Ethyl Acetate (E.A.). Ethyl Acetate begins with sugar cane that is turned into molasses. The molasses is then fermented to create ethanol and processed with acetic acid to create the Ethyl Acetate that will be used in the extraction of caffeine. Ethyl Acetate is used extensively in food and is known for bringing a fruity flavor to hard candy, chewing gum, ice cream, and other products. It can also be naturally occurring in fruits (pineapple, berries, apples, and pears), and is a key to the flavor of rum. The unroasted, green coffee is soaked in the E.A. solution which bonds to the caffeine, extracting it out of the bean. Once all the caffeine is removed, the bean is steamed to remove residual E.A., and voila!
