PEAK ROAST GOURMET FLAVORED COFFEE BLEND: AN OVERVIEW
Definition of "Peak Roast":
Peak Roast is CBI's lightest roast. Peak Roast does not refer to a specific color, rather it refers to a select flavor standard. It is the lightest roast at which the flavored coffee blend reaches its most balanced flavor and full aromatics.
Most of our single-origin coffees are Peak Roasted, in order for connoisseurs to distinguish taste differences due to coffees origins and quality. Peak Roasted blends tend to be very "light, bright, and mild" and tend to appeal to a wide audience. Peak Roasted coffees also tend to be good "introductory" choices, for consumers new to Specialty Coffee.
