THE FIVE TASTES, READvs the library average
Acidity6.5TYPICAL

Acid load sits near the comparison — enough lift without dominating.

Aroma3.4TYPICAL

Average aromatic feedstock — room to lift florals through Maillard control.

Flavor5.2TYPICAL

Flavor complexity tracks the comparison.

Sweetness5.5TYPICAL

Sweetness feedstock sits near the comparison.

Body2.7RESTRAINED

A light mouthfeel — position it as transparency, strongest in filter.

07 · ROASTING GUIDE

Roasting directions from this lot's chemistry · percentiles against the full green coffee library

C · Fruit-Forward SweetnessFresh, fruit-like sweetness and soft fruit acidity.
Taste Potential · library percentile
Sweetness68Aroma43Bitterness32Flavor26Body24Acidity21
  1. 01
    Fresh, fruit-like sweetness: fructose

    Abundant fructose points toward berry and tropical-fruit character.

    Data rationale Fructose 87th percentile · Sweetness potential 68th percentile

  2. 02
    A rounded body supports the sweetness: polysaccharides

    Polysaccharides contribute weight and richness on the palate, supporting the fruit-like sweetness.

    Data rationale Polysaccharides 78th percentile

  3. 03
    Aroma, sweetness and savory depth: trigonelline

    Trigonelline is above the library average, contributing to a broad range of aromas, sweetness and savory depth.

    Data rationale Trigonelline 75th percentile

  4. 04
    A smooth finish and an active response

    Low chlorogenic acids suggest less tendency toward bitter or smoky character in the source analysis. High water activity points toward active flavor development; measured heat application should help keep the fruit character well defined.

    Data rationale Chlorogenic acids 8th percentile · Water activity 75th percentile

Percentiles rank this lot against the full green coffee reference library (about 2,300 coffees); Taste Potential values are percentile rankings, not cupping scores. These are directions suggested by the data — design and validate the actual profile on your roaster, for your target cup.
