Light roasting is a method of preserving the original flavor of coffee beans by roasting them at low temperatures for a short period of time. This method emphasizes the natural characteristics of the beans, such as fruity, floral, and acidic notes. It minimizes bitterness and strong roasting notes, and provides a bright and refreshing taste. Light roasted coffees often have high acidity, and are characterized by a noticeable sweetness and clean aftertaste.
