About Medium Roast Coffee

Medium roast coffee is roasted for longer than light roast coffee, but less than dark roast coffee. It has a balanced profile, which is influenced by both the coffee’s origin and the roasting process. Some of the natural acidity is retained, and some sweetness develops during roasting. Medium roasts are considered the most balanced and approachable roast level.

Flavor Profile and Tasting Notes of Medium Roast Coffee

Medium roast coffee has a balanced flavor profile and a medium body. It’s not as bright or acidic as a light roast, and it isn’t as bold and sweet as dark roast coffee. Tasting notes and common characteristics of medium roasts include:

How to Choose the Best Medium Roast Coffee 

Good medium roast coffee is known for its balanced profile, but a few factors affect the flavor and body of your preferred coffee. 

To find your preferred medium roast, focus on these factors:

  • Flavor: A medium roast falls between a light roast and a dark roast. Some are lighter and more acidic, while others will develop deeper notes during roasting.
  • Origin: Origin-specific factors like soil and elevation contribute to the coffee’s natural flavors.
  • Processes: Natural and honey-washed coffees have a heavier body and are sweeter. Washed coffees make for a cleaner, smoother cup. All of Mayorga’s coffees are washed.

Why Mayorga’s Medium Roast Coffee Stands Out

Mayorga’s medium roasts start with 100% certified organic Arabica beans sourced from our long-term partners in Latin America. All of our coffee is shade-grown using regenerative farming practices that protect the land and the farmers. We don’t use any harmful chemicals, and our coffee is tested for mold and mycotoxins to give you the cleanest cup. 

All of our coffee is roasted based on demand to give you fresher, better-tasting coffee. We use our signature Latin slow-roasting technique, which allows our coffee to develop flavor gradually.
