Скачать или смотреть Melange: A Medley of Roast Levels!

Melange is French, and it just means "a mix" or a medley. Doesn't sound so fancy when we put it that way! In coffee, I have always understood it to means something specific. It's not just a mix or blend, but it's a blend of different roast levels, lighter and darker.

For home roasters, blending different roast levels can be a great tool. When you want to pull more dimension out of a coffee, get more roast taste without sacrificing the bright notes of a lighter roast, a melange is a good option. I am using it lately for decafs, to try to punch up the acidity level a bit. This video is part of my article on the melange, on our library site.
