Collection: Speciality Coffee
The term ‘Specialty coffee’ or ‘Speciality coffee’ is used to refer to coffee that is graded 80 points or above on a 100 point scale by a certified coffee taster (SCAA) or by a licensed Q Grader(CQI).
Specialty coffees are coffees at their peak and are different to other coffee because specialty coffee has been grown at the perfect altitude, at the correct time of year, in the best soil, and then picked at just the right time. All this translates into some of the most exciting and tasty coffee in the world.
Typically, speciality coffee is grown at high altitudes, with much care and attention from the farmer. From there, it is sold at a premium to coffee traders, or direct to roasters.
The roasters then create custom profiles for each coffee, enhancing and highlighting their natural flavours.
The Difference
What makes speciality coffee different to coffee you find in shelves in supermarkets is simply the process it goes through and high standard of quality of coffee you are drinking. Most supermarkets sell coffee that is mass produced and roasted in huge quantities using below average beans to increase profitability. When buying speciality coffee you can have peace of mind knowing you are drinking coffee at its highest quality while ensuring that your coffee travels from the farmers to our roasters and finally to your delicious home brewed cup of coffee.
