Let’s top up your coffee knowledge with a few fun facts about light roast coffee. How many of these did you know?

First, lighter roasted beans retain more of their original flavours after roasting. Lighter roasts have more caffeine than a dark roast. (Okay, so it’s only a VERY little bit more, but when you really need it, you really need it!) Finally, these roasts generally have brighter, more citrusy notes, and a bit more acidity. Perfect for those bright early mornings!
