Highline

Tasting notes

About this bean

Highline is a light roast from Irving Farm. Light roasts retain more of the origin character and tend to taste brighter, with more pronounced acidity. They are denser than darker roasts, so they usually need a finer grind and a longer extraction to dial in. The roaster lists tasting notes of Lemon, Hibiscus and Wildflower Honey. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 5 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 6.0 out of 10 across 5 ratings.
