Coffees are usually tasted several times a year during the aging process, and are roasted after they are finished aging. Usually, a dark roast is best, as it will even out the flavor and accentuate the body of the coffee. This is often the approach for a blended aged coffee or an aged coffee that is part of an overall blend. However, some connoisseurs prefer a light roast on their single-origin aged coffees, which emphasizes the single-origin nature of these unique products more heavily.
