Specialty coffeeUpdated a year ago

Specialty coffee is a product of unwavering dedication from individuals who've made quality their life's mission.

Throughout the coffee bean's life cycle, this commitment involves a diverse group of people: from dedicated farmers to processing station workers and roasters. Quality emerges when everyone collaborates and maintains a relentless focus on the product—the coffee—from beginning to end.

The term "specialty coffee" designates coffee that has been professionally assessed and scored 80 points or higher on a 100-point scale by certified coffee tasters (SCAA) or licensed Q-graders (CQI).

Specialty coffees distinguish themselves from others in numerous aspects along the entire value chain. Cultivation, preparation, and roasting are executed with meticulous attention and unwavering dedication. Furthermore, great importance is placed on fostering optimal growing conditions. This way, you can savor top-tier coffee while also setting a small example for fair working conditions.
