It's what we're all about.
According to SCA (Specialty Coffee Association), speciality coffee “refers to the highest quality green coffee beans roasted to their greatest flavour potential by true craftspeople and then properly brewed to well-established SCAA developed standards.”
These standards include scoring higher than 80 points on the quality scale and excellent or outstanding quality in fragrance, aroma, flavour, aftertaste, acidity, body, uniformity, balance, clean cup, sweetness, and overall better taste.
Beans are grown in special and ideal climates and are distinctive because of their full cup taste and little to no defects. The unique flavours and tastes are a result of the special characteristics and composition of the soils in which they are produced.
