What is specialty coffee?
Specialty coffees are selected arabica of the highest quality, fully traceable in terms of varietal, farm and region of origin, processing method, altitude, etc. They have no primary defects and instead offer an organoleptic profile that is extremely rich in flavors, standing out for sweetness and acidity, which is why a panel of tasters (Q graders) at the Coffee Quality Institute awards them a score above 80 points, on a scale of excellence from 0 to 100.
Specialty coffees are roasted in small batches using an artisanal process and brewed in accordance with well-defined standards.
The result is a cup completely free of bitterness, in which notes of fruit, flowers, chocolate, and toast are easy to distinguish. Each coffee has its own personality and distinctive aromatic profile, depending on its origin, variety, and processing method.
