Coffee bean roasting is an important process, and each type will result in a beverage with distinct characteristics in flavor and aroma.
In simple terms, it's easy to understand the role of roasting by comparing coffees prepared in exactly the same way, but which have distinct flavor and aroma not only due to the type of bean and the region where they were grown, but precisely because of how they were roasted.
Light roast
This type of roast highlights the various finer and more delicate coffee aromas, which are preserved by not being subjected to higher roast levels (such as medium and dark). The result is a bean with a smoother sensory profile and pronounced acidity.
Discover Orfeu Varietais Acauã, our specialty coffee with a medium-light roast. With notes of spices and high sweetness and acidity, it is a special beverage for lovers of complex aromas.
Medium roast
The medium roast brings what we call a balanced cup. It gives the coffee a balanced acidity and presents floral, fruity, and caramel notes in flavor and aroma.

Dark roast
In turn, dark roast develops flavors and aromas such as dark chocolate, presenting a coffee with accentuated body and sweetness.
With an intensity equivalent to 8, Orfeu Intenso Coffee undergoes dark roasting and therefore has low acidity. Prepare a cup and enjoy a very full-bodied coffee with high sweetness.
