Description: This workshop will enable a roaster to better define and apply the practice of profile roasting. Workshop participants will learn common terminology, best practices, and documentation. Participants will cup the same coffee roasted differently and discuss how different approaches can impact the sensory experience of a given coffee. This workshop will help roasters understand how to apply roasting theory and alter profile recipes to dial in their desired levels of acidity, sweetness, body, and balance.
