Each fact, and who it comes from.
Give it a week, then follow it.
A light roast keeps releasing carbon dioxide for days after roasting; brewed too early, it extracts unevenly and tastes muted. Give it at least seven days from roasting. After that it keeps changing from one day to the next, and following it through the bag is part of the pleasure.
