Brewing the Nordic Way: Unlocking Light Roasts
Light roasted coffees, known for their tea-like, delicate flavors, require a unique approach. Being less soluble, they need more encouragement during brewing. Think higher temperatures, a slightly finer grind, and more agitation to bring out their best.
Important Note: Light roasts require a long resting period of 3-4 weeks post-roast.
