These are official roast levels used by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) to describe the degree of roast, providing a more precise description than general terms like “light,” “medium,” or “dark.”
City Roast: A lighter roast that preserves acidity and origin flavors.
City Plus: A slightly deeper roast with balanced body and sweetness.
Full City: A medium-dark roast with bold flavor and low acidity.
