My love affair with coffee began fresh out of school, from humble beginnings I worked my way up the leader to become the first female barista in a fast growing coffee company. I followed my passion and love for the aroma, which lead me to the creation of my pride and joy, Absolute Coffee. I hope that when you take fist sip, you can taste the love that went into making your cup so special.
Medium-Dark Roasts are roasted several minutes longer than a Medium Roast, until the coffee beans begin popping again – this is the stage called Second Crack and denotes the full development of the coffee.
Roasts are determined by what are called “cracks”, which are exactly what they sound like. When the coffee cherry is picked, the bean in the center is green, soft, and tasteless. Roasting brings out all of the deliciousness that we’ve come to know and love.
Dark roast coffee beans stay on the roasting machine for a longer time or at a higher temperature. This means the beans will lose more moisture, making them less dense, less caffeinated, and more single-note in flavor.
