Altiplano Blend Roast #1

>> Sunday, March 24, 2019

I'm roasting up another batch of coffee today, this time Altiplano Blend from Sweet Maria's. This blend is described as follows:
Altiplano is extremely versatile in both roast level and brew applications. Lighter roasts show convincing levels of brightness and sweetness, with faint fruit and cocoa top notes. FC and beyond boosts body, sweetness, and chocolate roast complexity. City+ to Full City+. Great for espresso
I figured I'd do a similar roast as last time. The timing is slightly different as noted below, because it seemed like it took a bit longer to achieve full yellowing than on the previous batch.
