specialty coffees

Specialty coffees are those recognised by roasters and consumers alike because of their distinctive cup characteristics (organoleptic properties, such as a distinct aroma or flavour and the absence of cup defects), its physical properties (screen size, physical defects) and its cultural practices (i.e., organic, shade grown, sun-dried). Specialty coffees generally are grown in a very defined geographical area, which guarantees consistency over time and traceability.
Above all, for a specialty coffee to retain its "characteristics", it must not be mixed with "regular" and/or "commercial-grade" coffee, and it must be well prepared, freshly roasted and properly brewed.
