I’ve experimented with very light roasts, more developed darker roasts, and everything in between. I find it really cups out nicely at a Sweet Spot (medium) or a touch lighter. At a darker roast level it loses some of its delicate nuisance and has a tendency to take on notes of smoke. At a Origin (light) roast level it lacks a sweetness and complexity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo for this offering I am roasting it Sweet Spot. Basic profile information-5:00 to Green to yellow, 8:30 to first crack, plus 2:15 development time. I drop this coffee at 408F on the bean probe at 75 on the sweet maria’s roast color card. Or 21 degree’s from 1st crack. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've sourced and roasted Costa Rica, La Pastora for over four years now. I first roasted it for BP’s Golden sound blend. I felt like it was a very nice coffee that got a little lost in the blend. It is a great blend component also! It roast’s well at all roast levels. But I feel like it really shines at an Origin plus or Sweet Spot roast. It is a honey processed coffee as the classic washing process is illegal in Costa Rica. But it tastes very much like a classic washed coffee. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoffee Info\/story: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoopeTarrazú is a Costa Rica cooperative made of over 3,500 partners and associates in the province of San \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJosé.
