Cows Look Like MapsLately, I've switched from coffee to a nice, soothing cup of tea.
BobmightyBlack tea has more caffeine, but you can get pretty close to that with light roast coffee. Dark roast is weaker but sold as “strong” because of the bitter ass flavor profile. Light roast tastes much better, even tea like and has more oomph.
Light roasts taste different, not necessarily better, and dark roasts aren’t necessarily excessively bitter. It all comes down to what youbwant from your coffee…if you want floral and fruity, go for the lighter roasts. If you want chocolate, caramel and nuts, go for the darker roasts.
Dark roast in America almost always equates to a burnt arabica flavor. There can be good dark roasts, but you tend to have to go specialist coffee to get them.
