How to Choose the Perfect Coffee Beans

It's essential to understand your personal preferences. Different coffee beans possess unique characteristics, flavours, and aromas. Some prefer a bold, full-bodied taste, while others may enjoy a lighter and fruitier profile. 

Consider the following factors:

Flavour Profile: Determine your preferred taste—whether it's nutty, chocolaty, citrusy, floral, or any other flavour notes that appeal to you.

Roast Level: Coffee beans are available in various roast levels, ranging from light to dark. Each level of roast gives distinct flavours and intensities. 

Brewing Method: Different brewing methods (such as espresso, French press, pour-over, or cold brew) highlight various characteristics of coffee. Think about how you usually brew your coffee and which flavours you enjoy most in that particular method
