Ritual Coffee Roaster: the cutting edge of coffee roasting in SF, among third wave coffee roasters.

Why?

Because of Ben Kaminsky, three-time winner of the National Cupping Championships, who is titled as Ritual Coffee's quality control expert.

Photographed is beans with his recommendation given to Joy Egami, Blue mountain distributor and the representative of UCC America.  It was just lucky enough to picture and to taste a cup roasted by SF, no world's the best cupping master's coffee.

Flavor was wonderful, even with subtraction of bias which may have caused; however, the beans was too high and subtle in craftsmanship to recreate "the flavor".
Flavor was very edgy and sensitive, which may apply to all beans presented by Ritual coffee.  Their beans selection has no doubt: single origin or micro rot, natural process, selected with highly sharpened cupper's seances.  Every single aspect of their coffee beans were carefully manipulated and operated to bring out the best flavor hidden in the beans.


BUT, here is my question: 
Is there anyone re-create the flavor?
Is there anyone operate commercial amounts in that quality?
Is there anyone can brew this with original flavor?

I wish we would say "YES" to all.

Edgy & whizzy roaster needs barista to synchronize, at least to follow, to transform his creation into a liquid.  
There may be few sensitive enough to taste difference; however, I hope people will enjoy "real" flavor of this precious cutting-edge coffees more and more.
