A good coffee experience can make or break the day for many, which is why you don’t want to mess with a coffee lover’s cup, so to speak. However, when choosing specialty coffees, there can be vast differences in quality. So, how do you ensure you’re getting a coffee experience you’re sure to enjoy? Enter the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) cupping protocol, which scores coffee beans. Here’s how that cup score can guide you to the perfect blend.
Clarifying the Cup Score
The SCA’s cup score is used to standardize the quality of coffee beans by gauging their quality, flavor, and sensory experience. During the rigorous scoring process, experienced professionals systematically taste and grade coffee beans based on attributes such as:
Fragrance and aroma
Flavor
Acidity
Body
Aftertaste
Sweetness
Uniformity
Balance
Cup scores range from 0 to 100. However, coffee beans with scores above 80 are considered specialty grade, whereas those that score in the 60 and 70 range are considered regular commercial-grade coffee. Rahm Roast, known for its rich and diverse flavor profiles, has a cup score of 91, which puts our coffee beans in the top tier of specialty coffee.
What Makes Rahm Roast Coffee Beans Better
Our visionary founder, Dr. Christina Rahm, a distinguished scientist, entrepreneur, and fellow coffee lover, didn’t set out to make just another regular coffee brand. She felt called to elevate the coffee experience to its fullest potential by not only delivering exceptional flavor but also promoting wellness, the ultimate ‘clean cup.’
Dr. Rahm’s extensive background in biotechnology and nutraceuticals gives her a unique expertise in which to blend scientific rigor with artisanal craftmanship. As such, every aspect of Rahm Roast, from coffee bean selection to roasting, is backed by research and an in-depth understanding of health and nutrition.
How does this translate to Rahm Roast’s high cup score of 91? Our organic coffee beans are sourced from the lush highlands of a small coffee-producing region in Guatemala that has the optimal combination of altitude, climate, and soil conditions for exceptional flavor profiles. The coffee beans are hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, then lovingly detoxed and meticulously roasted in small batches by our acclaimed master roaster, ensuring rich flavor and compounds beneficial to your health.
It all culminates in a symphony of taste that delights your senses from the aromatic fragrance to the well-balanced acidity to the lingering sweetness to the exceptional body and velvety mouthfeel. It’s pure bliss in a carefully curated cup.
