Racine – Ethiopia

(1 customer review)

The Roaster’s Note

Quiet and complex. A medium roast Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from producer Biru Bekele in Oromia, grown at 1,904 meters. Tea, florals, and a softness that unfolds the longer you sit with it. Scored 86 by SCA-certified Q-graders. Espresso or filter, any time of day. This is Ethiopian coffee at its most elegant.

BREW GUIDE

Racine works beautifully as espresso or filter. As espresso, the tea-like quality comes through clean, with florals in the finish. On filter, the cup opens up: more transparency, more layers, and a softness that rewards slow sipping. This medium roast Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is an all-day cup for anyone who wants something refined without being fussy. Easy to brew, easy to love.

ROAST APPROACH

Medium roast, with a focus on clarity. Washed Ethiopian beans are dense and tightly structured from the high altitude, so we apply steady heat to develop the body without losing the florals. Push it too far and the tea-like character disappears. Pull back too much and it tastes grassy. The window is narrow. We roast Racine to land right in the middle: enough development for sweetness and body, enough restraint to keep the florals intact.

SCA SCORE

86

out of 100

The SCA score is the global standard for grading coffee quality, assessed by certified coffee tasters (Q-graders) on aroma, flavor, body, acidity, and balance. Commercial coffee typically scores 60 to 70. Specialty grade starts at 80. Racine scored 86, graded at import, placing it well into specialty territory: a clean, complex cup with distinctive floral character.

    My wife likes a lighter roast but still wants there to be complex flavor profiles. And Le Calm doesn’t disappoint! She even has a different pot and grinder now so she doesn’t mix my darker roast flavors in =P
