With their first educational box focused on roasting defects, experience an enriching journey that will allow you to explore specialty coffee in a fun and instructive way.
Rouge Soleil is a member of my Discord about coffee. He takes us on a journey with his podcasts about this delicious beverage. He has decided to venture into roasting. In order to give him a helping hand and make his project more visible, I allowed him to present it on my blog.
Rouge Soleil: from podcast to roasting
Rouge Soleil is much more than just a podcast. It’s a space, a universe entirely dedicated to coffee, designed so you can savor each cup optimally. Through this media, they explore every facet of the plant that gives birth to this beloved caffeinated beverage.
The authors of this podcast go beyond simple discussions about roasting, extraction methods and other technical aspects. They aim to focus on a true lifestyle. As the saying goes: “Tell me what you eat, I’ll tell you who you are.” Believing that there are a thousand and one things to say, to explain, to understand, to know and to do about this little thing called coffee.
Creating a podcast is good. But roasting coffee is even better. So why not combine the two? Talking and exchanging ideas about coffee is the reason for Rouge Soleil’s existence. Beyond audio episodes, the creators aim to be educational: coffee is not just listened to, it’s prepared, drunk, and savored.
Launch of the first educational box
They are delighted to launch their first educational box dedicated to specialty coffee. The idea is simple: every two to three months, a themed box will be delivered to your home, allowing you to explore specialty coffee in both a cognitive and practical way.
The first theme is “Roasting defects”. You will learn to recognize, distinguish, and understand these defects. Each box will contain 4 x 100 grams of the same specialty coffee, but with different roasts presenting specific defects:
- 100 g of an under-roasted coffee
- 100 g of an over-roasted coffee
- 100 g of an improperly roasted coffee
- 100 g of a perfectly roasted coffee
The box will also contain 200 g of the 1st Rouge Soleil coffee.
Box prototype that could be offered if the project comes to fruition.
A sensory and playful experience
Accompanied by a special podcast episode, this box will allow you to identify roasting defects in a playful way. Rather than telling you what the defects are, you’ll be able to detect them yourself by observing, smelling, and tasting the coffee. “They don’t just want to talk to you, they want to make you understand. That’s why they’re launching their first tasting box focused on roasting defects.” Join the adventure.
Support their campaign on KissKissBankBank and discover the first coffee in the Rouge Soleil range: 200 grams of an exceptional specialty coffee. Learn more in this episode: De l’aube à l’aurore - Épisode 3.
