What is specialty grade coffee and why does it matter?Updated 2 days ago
Specialty grade coffee is coffee that meets the highest physical and sensory standards set by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). It is guaranteed mold-free, fresh crop, and free from defective beans or off flavors, ensuring the best possible taste in every cup.
Specialty coffee represents only about 5% of the world’s coffee, making it a truly premium product. Beyond quality, the specialty coffee industry is committed to sustainability, equity, and inclusion, supporting the farmers and communities who grow the coffee. Choosing specialty grade coffee means you’re enjoying exceptional flavor while supporting ethical and responsible practices throughout the coffee value chain.
