The discussion also touches on the technical challenges of light roasting and the importance of maintaining consistent quality in a competitive market.
Inside this video
From Seattle Coffee Gear:
“We've narrowed our focus to basically Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Ethiopia, Honduras. And simply because if there's a little more transparency in some of those places, the price to quality ratio is a lot higher than elsewhere.”
“Light roasting coffee well is very hard. The window is extremely small. If it's too light, it's sour and vegetal.”
