Ligher roasted coffees (like breakfast blend) feature more acidity than darker roasts
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Lighter roasted coffees tend to have more acidity compared to darker roasts. This is because during the roasting process, the longer the coffee beans are roasted, the more the acidity is reduced. Lighter roasts are typically roasted for a shorter duration, which allows the natural acidity of the beans to be more pronounced. On the other hand, darker roasts are roasted for a longer time, resulting in a smoother and less acidic flavor profile. Therefore, it is true that lighter roasted coffees, such as breakfast blend, feature more acidity than darker roasts.Rate this question:
