Light roasted coffee

Light roasting isn’t just for small roasters. Large-scale commercial roasters can also benefit from roasting light. Not only does a light roast preserve the delicate flavors of a coffee, it also helps decrease the amount of bean shrinkage. Light-roasted beans typically show eight to 10 percent less shrinkage than dark-roasted beans, translating into potential financial savings. For small and larger roasters then, light roasting offers distinct advantages and benefits. Our light-roasted beans are characterized by their golden brown hue. They provide an overall smooth taste and peak aroma. A great way to start your day! With an aroma reminiscent of freshly picked limes and flavor that hints of caramel and apricot, Café Britt Light Roast enlivens the senses like a crisp sunrise. The flavor is, of course, the most important part, and coffee can have a wide range of flavors. It can be bitter which means it is rather acidic, or it can be bland. It can have a fruity taste or nutty taste. If the coffee is rather astringent it is referred to as sharp. If it is acrid then it is called sour. Coffee can be spicy, sweet and even winey tasting!
