The Impact of Roast Level on Coffee Flavor

Writer's picture: Justin VanHoyJustin VanHoy

The roast level of your coffee dramatically affects its flavor profile, and at Haiku Brew Coffee, we carefully select the optimal roast level for each bean to highlight its best characteristics. Light roasts preserve more of the coffee's original flavor characteristics, showcasing bright acidity and complex flavor notes unique to the bean's origin and variety.

Medium roasts strike a balance between origin characteristics and roast-developed flavors, often featuring notes of chocolate and caramel while maintaining pleasant acidity. This level tends to be more versatile across different brewing methods and is often preferred by those who enjoy their coffee with milk. Dark roasts bring out bold, rich flavors with prominent notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts, though they may mask some of the more subtle origin characteristics.

Understanding roast levels can help you choose coffees that match your taste preferences. We clearly indicate the roast level on all our coffees and provide detailed tasting notes to help you make informed decisions. Whether you prefer the bright, complex notes of light roasts or the bold, rich flavors of dark roasts, we offer options to satisfy every palate.
