07THE ROASTING PLAYBOOK
How to get the most out of it · derived from the chemistry
01
Keep it bright

Light-to-medium development preserves the acidity and clarity this lot leads with.

Frame the delicate mouthfeel as transparency, not a flaw — strongest in filter.

03
Watch the finish

Bitterness potential is high and the develop window narrow — end early, cup in small steps.
