Much like wine, higher end coffee can seem daunting, from unfamiliar ratings to strange lexicons, to producers, beans, and countries to figure out. We are here to make this approachable, fun, and rewarding.
So let’s start with those strange ratings.
At Sāe Coffee Studio, we start with coffee that is scored 88 points and above on a scale of 0-100.
Coffee is objectively scored on a scale from 0 - 100.
Any coffee that receives a total score above 80 points is deemed Specialty Coffee.
Any coffee that receives a total score below 80 points is deemed Commercial.
Majority of Specialty Coffee Brands source beans that score between 80 - 86 points.
It means we are not kidding when we say we take you on a journey.
You will experience a cup that house distinct fragrance, and flavor notes that are unique to the origin and farm we source the coffee from. We work directly with producers to ensure that we only carry beans with the highest quality & integrity to produce a "clean cup."
Our beans are intentionally roasted to reveal the coffee's terroir. Our roast is crafted to reveal the bean's natural sweetness.
There are many acidic compounds in green coffee. We select and roast our coffee to bring out a pleasant acidity — one that is delicate and fruit-like. Good acidity should not be harsh, astringent, or overly sour.
