What is specialty coffee?

Specialty coffee is coffee of the highest quality, judged by taste, origin, processing and roasting. To be officially recognized as a 'specialty', the coffee must score at least 80 out of 100 points on the quality standard of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

This means: no defective beans, optimum ripeness at harvest, careful processing and a roast that brings out the unique flavour notes of the bean. You can taste the difference in the cup: more complex, clearer, with notes of red fruit, citrus, chocolate or flowers.
