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. Rest 5-10 days before the first comparison, then taste again as it settles. If the fruit edge distracts from cocoa: Move 5 percentage points from Rwanda to Honduras on the next trial.
