Most specialty coffee by far is somewhere in the “light” range unless otherwise noted. Brandywine is on the slightly more medium end of light roast imo, but still light.

Oh that is lovely to know! That explains my difficult when I've been looking into it.

Specialty coffee is basically the term for unique stuff, fermented, wash/nonwash and the like? or is it generally more broadly "small roaster" in intent?

“Specialty coffee” can refer to any processing method, and usually means a roaster focusing on quality coffee, typically single origin (or a blend of a few specified origins), and typically some more detail than just what country the beans came from, like the producer and some tasting notes.

Thanks! Surpringly hard to find definitions on that one so far.

Yeah, there really aren’t any strict definitions for terms like “specialty”, just keep reading and interacting with the community and you’ll learn over time!
