Light
A bright light roast with vibrant fresh fruit and citrus flavors creating a lively, energetic cup. The Ethiopian beans drive the fruit-forward character while the Mexican and Brazilian components provide a balanced center, resulting in a light-bodied coffee with exceptional complexity and brightness.
900-2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)
This light roast blend combines naturally processed Ethiopian beans (1,850-2,100m) for juicy fruit characteristics, Mexican beans (1,300-1,750m) washed for clean structure and balance, and Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for body and sweetness. The varied processing methods preserve the delicate origin characteristics while creating a complex, layered cup with exceptional brightness and nuanced flavors.
Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil
This blend sources from Ethiopian smallholder farms in Guji’s high-altitude growing areas where traditional intercropping methods are practiced, Mexican cooperatives in Chiapas emphasizing environmental stewardship, and Brazilian estates in Cerrado with their systematic cultivation approaches. These three origins represent diverse farming traditions from established coffee-producing regions.
Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Catuaí, Catucaí, Mundo Novo
This blend features Ethiopian heirloom varietals prized for their bright floral and tea-like qualities, Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean sweetness and balanced acidity, and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for body and chocolate foundation. The Ethiopian heirlooms drive the exceptional brightness and complexity, while the Mexican varietals provide structural elegance, and the Brazilian cultivars contribute the rich body and nutty-chocolate base that grounds this light roast blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our vibrant light roast whole bean profile.
Q. What does a Light Roast taste like?
Unlike dark roasts, which taste smoky and heavy, our High Lakes light roast tastes vibrant, bright, and fruity—showing off notes of fresh berries, sweet citrus, and a clean tea-like finish without any heavy roast bitterness.
Q. Does this coffee contain actual berries or artificial flavoring?
No. This is a non-flavored, single-ingredient specialty coffee. The fresh berry and citrus characteristics are naturally occurring flavor notes inherent to the high-altitude heirloom beans.
Q. What is the best way to brew High Lakes Roast?
Light roasts shine brightest in drip coffee makers, pour-overs (like a V60 or Chemex), and French press. These methods allow the delicate fruit notes, berry acidity, and clean tea-like finish to fully extract and develop.
Q. Does this light roast have more caffeine?
Yes. Because light roast beans are roasted for a shorter duration at lower temperatures, they retain slightly more of their organic density and natural caffeine content compared to dark roasts.
