Nora’s Naturals Coffee Expert Talks about the Differences in Light + Dark Roasted Coffees!
You’ll be surprised at how far-ranging the differences are between the two different roasts!
Have you ever wondered what exactly is the difference between dark and light roasted coffees? Besides the appearance of the beverage itself, it actually has a lot more to do with the health benefits and flavor that you might think.
LIGHT ROAST:
Light roast coffee is made from coffee beans that have been lightly roasted and allowed just enough time for them to cook, but not enough to be completely depleted of moisture. This results in a coffee that is more fruity and herbal in taste, however, the biggest take-away is the caffeine content.
Light roast has the most caffeine content out of all the coffees and higher antioxidant properties due to the bean not being broken down as much by the intense heat of roasting.
It also tends to be more acidic, which despite the high antioxidant properties can be hard on some people.

DARK ROAST:
Dark roast coffee offers the more traditional “coffee” taste and experience. With its flavors reminiscent of roasted nuts, graham crackers, and caramel. The dark roast comes from having the beans cook for as long as possible, without them burning and turning the flavor into something that resembles charcoal. One of the best health benefits of a dark roast comes from the pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5 within, that helps the body convert food into useful energy throughout the day. Dark roast is much less acidic, making it a great option for daily consumption.
Whether you’re picking light roast or dark roast, Nora’s Naturals Coffee is on a mission to support health and wellbeing, and sources high antioxidant single-origin coffee with tremendous physical and mental health benefits. Their coffee is grown in volcanic soil, rich in silica (essential for collagen production – hello better skin, hair, and nails), and packed with antioxidants for brain health and physical health.

Thanks to Nora Tobin and all the people at Nora’s Naturals Coffee for their explanation of the differences in light and dark coffee!
The best part about knowing the differences in light and dark roasts is that you get to choose whether you want a lighter flavor of the coffee or something richer and stronger. Shopping the coffee aisles in your favorite supermarket or even taste-testing at your latest coffee house, means you get to determine whether you want more caffeine and fruity/herbal flavors or if you want less caffeine and a deeper richer flavor of coffee. Each roast offers something different.
