When roasting this Costa Rican SL28 from Monte Brisas, there are a few factors to keep in mind. The profile was designed considering the origin (Costa Rica), the natural processing method, and the target finish temperature, which was set in the medium-light range. I chose a medium gas pressure setting to balance these variables effectively.
If you're planning to roast another batch, there are some adjustments you might want to consider. Lowering the gas pressure slightly and, depending on the situation, raising the charge temperature a bit could enhance the mouthfeel and bring out a clearer, more defined character in the cup.
For further details on how to fine-tune your roast profile, you can refer to the blog on the Firescope website or my personal blog.
During cupping, the aroma revealed notes of red grape, berry, and cocoa. As you begin tasting, especially at higher temperatures, you’ll notice flavors like rose, blueberry, pomegranate juice, and pear emerging. The acidity is medium, with a medium body and a silky mouthfeel. As the coffee cools, additional characters like green apple, cocoa, plum, hibiscus, molasses, spice, and caramelized almonds become more prominent, adding complexity to the profile.
