Roasting is the cooking of the coffee bean. Grain color is determined by cooking time. The darker it is, the more it is cooked. During cooking, the aromas can take on all sorts of notes, such as wine or lemon.
We opt for slow roasting, between 20 and 30 minutes for each roast, in order to maximize the aromas of each bean. The taste of the coffee will also vary depending on the cooking time.
The longer the grain is roasted, the fuller it will be, with more woody and smoky notes.
Here are the 4 types of roasting offered at Le Torréfacteur:
