Definition

The measured or visually assessed darkness and hue of roasted coffee.

Why it matters

The label helps communicate roast style, but it cannot by itself describe internal development or flavor.

How it is measured or recognized

Classify it with a stated color method, sample preparation, weight loss and sensory reference.

Roasting tip

Use numeric production specifications because verbal roast-level labels are subjective.
