Every element from the specialty coffee production is important – growing, picking, processing, storing, roasting and packing the beans. Now we will talk about one of the least popular and probably quite unclear moment from the process – roasting. Something that we at DABOV are very good at!
It is of extreme importance who’s roasted your coffee and how it’s exactly done. Because it is through roasting that the best that grain can offer could be extracted. The good, experienced and dedicated roaster is like the orchestra’s conductor. He is not a composer, he has not composed the musical piece, but it depends on him how the piece will be presented to the audience. When the roaster gets a new coffee (of course, we are talking about specialty coffee and not ordinary coffees), he starts experimenting with different roasting profiles because the most suitable profile will highlight the flavor characteristics of the coffee. Roasting, improving profiles, finding the best roasting profile is art. And we at DABOV Specialty Coffee are proud to be able to create art in our roastery.Why is coffee roasted
Roasting turns green coffee beans into aromatic, light to dark brown beans, from which we brew our favorite coffee drink. Roasting brings out coffee flavors, which we can’t extract by grinding and brewing green beans. Its flavor will always remind us of grass.Why we stamp the roasting date on our coffee packs
After coffee is roasted, the peak of its aromas is on the 45th day, after which they start to decrease. We manually pack our coffee in a nozzle package that keeps the coffee fragrance until it’s opened. The package also has a zipper, because when properly closed at home, it will keep the flavor for the next 10-15 days. Coffee roasters which roast in small quantities follow this working principle in order to preserve their high-quality coffees.Is coffee roasting art? And is it a science too?
The coffee roaster must have many different skills that are obtained through years practice and constant upgrade of theory about the different types of coffees, roasteries, roasting processes and the chemical processes that occur during roasting. He must be able to decipher the information encoded in the green beans to get the best of them. Sometimes, during roasting, it takes a fraction of a second to make from perfectly roasted coffee a burnt one. That is why a lot of attention is required.Is it important to know who roasts your coffee
If we speak about specialty coffee, it is of utmost importance to know your roaster. Every specialty coffee is roasted according to its roasting profile. We note the roasting level on our coffee packs so that you have an idea if your coffee is light or dark roasted. Many roasteries invent their own names for their favorite roasting levels or profiles. In the coffee industry though there isn’t a strict standardization regarding those profiles. It is wise to ask how your coffee was roasted especially if you buy it outside your favorite roastery because even though there are similarities in roasting levels and profiles, there could also be unexpected differences. A lot of clients, for example, think that stronger taste that comes with darker roasting also brings a higher caffeine percentage but the truth is that lighter roast coffees contain a little bit more caffeine. We at DABOV offer coffees with different roasting levels – light, medium light, medium, medium dark and dark.Ако смятате, че статията ви беше полезна, можете да се абонирате от тук:
