Every flavour tells a story.

From acidity and sweetness to agility and charm, this is how Roastersaurus brings the cup to life.

I created Roastersaurus to build a bridge between the way coffee feels and the way we talk about it.
After years of roasting, cupping, and competing, I wanted a new language, one that made tasting more intuitive and playful without losing depth.

Each coffee has a character, each character translated into a card, each sensory attribute a stat. What begins as acidity, sweetness, or structure turns into movement, tension, and endurance. It’s a way to explore a multi-sensory understanding through design and imagination, connecting the ritual of drinking coffee to the energy it holds.

Every Roastersaurus card begins with a cup of coffee.
Before there’s design, story, or gameplay, there’s taste.

When I built the stat system for Roastersaurus, I wanted every number to come from something real… something you can feel when you drink the coffee. These stats aren’t abstract; they’re sensory translations. They turn flavour and texture into motion, structure, and behaviour.

Each one comes from the same process I use when I roast or cup: looking at how the coffee moves, holds itself, and lingers. What starts as acidity, sweetness, or mouthfeel becomes agility, bite, or stamina once it enters the Roastersaurus world. And in fact the cup is what decides which class or dino the coffee will become in the first place (more on that in another post in the future).

For me, these cards are about more than collecting (although thats definitely on the cards 😂). They are about tapping into that inner child we all carry, the part of us that still lights up at something simple and playful. If my coffees and cards can give someone a moment of joy, a smile that lifts them out of the grind of daily life, then they are doing exactly what I hoped. If they can then share that moment with someone else through the soon to be revealed gameplay, even better.

⚡️Agility: Acidity & Movement

Agility describes how fast and vividly flavour moves.
A high-agility coffee feels bright, zesty, and quick to react. It sparks across the palate, lively and directed.
Lower agility brings calm and weight. The coffee feels steady, slower to rise, more composed.

💥 Power: Body & Weight

Power is presence.
A high-power coffee is dense, syrupy, and grounded. You feel its gravity.
Low-power cups are lighter, almost tea-like, moving through space instead of filling it.

🦷 Bite: Tactile Edge & Energy

Bite is the tactile tension between acidity and body.
It’s the snap, the grip, the sparkling edge that makes a coffee feel alive.
High bite gives that electric, effervescent quality.
Low bite glides instead of sparks, smooth and seamless.

🏋️ Stamina: Finish & Endurance

Stamina is time.
It’s how long flavour lingers and evolves after the sip.
High stamina coffees unfold slowly, changing as they fade.
Low stamina cups finish clean, quick, and clear.

✨ Charm: Sweetness & Appeal

Bite is the tactile tension between acidity and body.
It’s the snap, the grip, the sparkling edge that makes a coffee feel alive.
High bite gives that electric, effervescent quality.
Low bite glides instead of sparks, smooth and seamless.

🛡 Armour: Structure & Stability

Armour holds everything together.
It’s the structure that keeps flavour balanced and coherent.
High armour coffees are velvety and layered, with texture that stays cohesive.
Low armour is delicate and fleeting, flavour that collapses once the sip is gone.

Flavour Becomes Function

Every stat comes directly from the sensory world.
What you taste defines how each Roastersaurus card behaves later in play.

It is not just data. It is the bridge between cup and character, the point where sensory experience becomes story.

Looking Ahead

Roastersaurus has always been about connection, between taste and touch, between player and planet. The upcoming gameplay element builds on that same foundation.

Each card, each coffee, and each choice will shape how you engage with the world of Roastersaurus. It is designed to be interactive and sustainable, rewarding curiosity instead of consumption.

What starts as packaging becomes something that lives on. The coffee info card you receive with the bag is not waste; it is part of a growing game and a collector’s world. It carries memory, first of the coffee you tasted, then of the people you shared it with, or battled against.

It is a small act of transformation, turning what is usually discarded into something lasting. Even the Roastersaurus stickers can be easily peeled from the bags and placed wherever you like, on your water bottle, notebook, or laptop, small fragments of story that travel with you.

It is a system that celebrates flavour, creativity, and play while keeping materials in use and stories alive.

Roastersaurus is about tasting, collecting, remembering, and sometimes, winning.
And this is only the start. Every mark on each card holds intention, more layers of the world still waiting to be decoded.
