Tasting production test batches for coffees made from the new lot of Brazilian coffee. I sell this both as a medium roast and it's usually the coffee that becomes labeled French Roast. The darker of these is slightly milder than the previous lot, but the overall flavor profile is right and I don't think there's much to do about the slight reduction in intensity that wouldn't throw things off worse.
As for the medium roast, that's a closer match, which is good since I have advance orders on that and wouldn't want to have to go back to those customers and tell them that a coffee I thought would be very similar to what they tasted has turned out very different and have to renegotiate those sales.
