1. Light Roast

The surface of lightly roasted coffee beans is light brown and has a high gloss. Coffee at this roasting degree has a bright taste, distinct sourness, and an overall fresh taste. Lightly roasted coffee has rich fruity and floral aromas. This is because the fruit acids and other volatile components in the coffee beans are retained during light roasting. Taking a sip, it's as if you can taste the freshness of sunshine and fresh air.

2. Medium Roast

The color of medium-roasted coffee beans is between light brown and dark brown. Coffee at this roasting level has a balanced taste, with both sourness and sweetness, as well as some nutty and chocolate flavors. Medium roasting can highlight the characteristics of the coffee beans themselves, making their taste richer and more delicate. Drinking a cup of medium-roasted coffee, you can almost feel the growth process of the coffee beans under the sun and heat.

3. Deep Baking

Deep roasted coffee beans are dark black with an oily surface. Coffee roasted to this degree has a lower acidity and a stronger sweetness. It also produces a unique flavor of caramel or caramel mixed with nuts. Deep roasted coffee has a strong taste and a distinct aftertaste, which leaves a long aftertaste. Deep roasting can also make the coffee tend to be bitter, so you need to pay attention to controlling the degree of roasting to retain the best taste.
