Specialty coffee - an exceptional coffee experience
Specialty coffee is a bean-based coffee that offers not only a unique flavor profile, but also the highest level of quality at every stage of its production. In order to receive the status of “specialty”, coffee beans undergo a rigorous evaluation according to the international standards of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). This organization sets standards and requirements for the cultivation, processing, and roasting of coffee beans, ensuring quality consistency at all stages.
The specialty of specialty coffee lies in its deep and complex flavors, which are revealed through careful fermentation and processing. The key difference between regular coffee and specialty coffee is the use of higher quality Arabica coffee beans, which means that specialty coffee beans have fewer defects than regular Arabica. In addition, conventional coffee can be grown in mass production conditions, where the quality of the beans is not always a priority.
When you choose specialty coffee, you are also supporting the farmer who invests time and resources in his work to create the best coffee beans possible. The processing process uses minimal resources with great care for the environment. Farmers are paid fairly for their work, and the process of growing and fermenting coffee is subject to strict quality control. Due to the unique growing and processing conditions, specialty coffee also offers a richer flavor than regular coffee.
The main advantages of specialty coffee:
- High-quality Arabica beans: no defects, which guarantees a pure taste.
- Unique flavor profiles: a wider and deeper range of flavors.
- Ecological cultivation: minimum of resources used and responsible attitude to nature.
