blonde roast

Lightly roasted beans

Blonde roast is coffee roasted for a shorter time at lower temperatures, resulting in a lighter color and milder flavor than medium or dark roasts.

Despite the name, blonde roasts typically contain slightly more caffeine, since roasting breaks down caffeine molecules.

The term gained popularity through Starbucks: I'll have a tall blonde roast.
