light roast
Delicate coffee beans
Light roast describes coffee beans roasted for a shorter time at lower temperatures, producing a lighter brown color and preserving more of the bean's original flavor.
Light roasts tend to be more acidic and have higher caffeine content than darker roasts: I prefer a light roast for my morning coffee.
The taste emphasizes the bean's origin rather than the roasting process.
