Roasting is the action of exposing coffee to high heat in order to release all its aromas and fragrances.
A technique discovered by the Ethiopians in the 14th century, it has continued to be improved over the centuries in order to enhance the taste of coffee to its maximum.
And while technological advances make it possible to automate much of the process, only a human, using their senses and experience, can determine the perfect level of roasting.
Some roasters use additional ingredients during preparation, such as butter or sugar, to add an extra touch to the coffee.
Similarly, the temperature and duration of roasting will play a major role in the flavors of the coffee.
Obviously the techniques, ingredients and intensity of roasting are specific to each roaster and all this alchemy brings a unique character to each coffee, like a sort of signature.
