What is Light Roast Coffee?

The roast of the coffee has nothing to do with the type of coffee bean. Instead, it has to do with the roast level.

When we talk about light roast coffee, we’re referring to coffee beans that are yellowish-tan to light brown in color. 

Light roast coffee has lots of natural flavors. It tends to be brighter, sweeter, and have more acidity than darker roasts. That’s because some of those natural flavors dissipate during the roasting process. Since light roast beans process for the shortest amount of time, they retain more of those flavors and acids.

Light roast coffee tends to be a bit more complex, less bitter and has even more antioxidants than darker roasts.
