Light roast coffee beans

Light roasts are taken off the roaster early, keeping more of the coffee's own character: fruit, florals and a brighter, tea-like acidity. They shine in pour-over, AeroPress and other filter brewing.

If you're coming from instant or dark filter coffee, a light roast will taste very different, closer to fruit than to chocolate. We list 155 from 40 roasters, from ₹500 per 250g.
