Roast approach
Blend the green beans before roasting.
Aim for an even medium-brown finish that keeps sweetness central rather than chasing roast bitterness. Use similarly sized lots that roast compatibly. Begin with a small trial; if one component races ahead, choose more compatible lots for the next batch. If recording development time, use 18-22% of total roast time after first crack only as a trial window, not a universal endpoint. Decaf beans start darker. Judge development from aroma and roast behaviour as well as colour. Rest 4-10 days before the first comparison, then taste again as it settles. If cocoa overpowers the softer nut goal: Try 70% Peru decaf and 30% Colombia decaf on the next batch.
