Light roasts tend to preserve the unique flavour profile of the bean better than dark or even medium roasts, which means you can enjoy the full breadth of the coffee’s original character. Think citrus, stone fruit, floral, and those lighter, summery flavours.

Remember: Light roast doesn’t mean light on the caffeine 

There is a common misconception that lighter roasts contain less caffeine than darker roasts. And whilst caffeine might not be the only reason you drink coffee (although, it’s a pretty good one if you ask us), it’s important to clarify that light roast doesn’t equal light on the caffeine. 

In fact, the pendulum swings the other direction. Light roasts tend to have slightly more caffeine than their medium and dark roasted counterparts. 

Light roasts have a shorter roasting time which means less water evaporates during the roasting process. As a result, beans that are light roasted tend to be slightly denser which means that each bean has slightly more mass and therefore more caffeine.
