raindeercoffee.com Observed source
Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Chinese-language coffee roaster selling small-batch beans and teaching a hands-on pour-over course built around repeatable brewing decisions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The site separates coffee preparation into bean selection, extraction control, and a repeatable brewing system rather than presenting technique as a matter of equipment or personal style. Its course uses a baseline-first method and asks students to change one variable at a time, then connect flavors such as sharpness or astringency to likely causes. The shop currently lists 100-gram coffees from Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Colombia, with most priced at NT$300.
