This Colombian HEIGHT PREMIUM ESMERALDA green emerald coffee was roasted to first crack’s end, yielding complex fruit acids. Find out why it didn’t do well at darker roasts.

Ever roasted a high-grade Colombian coffee bean only to find the cup unbalanced, overly bitter, or strangely lifeless? Many roasters encounter this issue with beans that look premium on the label but hide serious inconsistencies—like wildly uneven bean size. That’s exactly what happened during a roast of Colombia’s HEIGHT PREMIUM ESMERALDA, a green emerald-tier lot that, despite its elite positioning above SUPREMO, proved far trickier to roast consistently.
