Cinco de Junio
Light roast doesn't always mean fruit bomb. This washed Nicaraguan lists apple, dark chocolate and almond, so expect some brightness with real depth behind it. Organic and kosher, grown at 1,150 to 1,500 meters.
Pick it if apple and almond sound good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Chocolate lovers testing the waters with a light roast

Mixed nuts, dark chocolate and golden raisin. Comfortable notes for a light roast. It's a washed Guatemalan with four varietals, sold whole bean or ground in a 12-ounce bag, with drip, pour-over and universal grinds.
Pick it if mixed nuts and golden raisin sound good to you.
