Specialty Coffee: Exploring the World of High-Quality Beans

Posted on March 20, 2023 - 10:47 pm by Paulina Ferrer

If you’re a coffee lover, you’ve likely heard the term “specialty coffee” thrown around. But what exactly is this, and why is it worth seeking out? This article will guide you thru the world of high-quality coffee, exploring what it is, how it’s produced, and how to enjoy it.

What is Specialty Coffee?

Specialty coffee and commercial coffee differ mainly in the quality of the coffee beans used. The growers grow, process, and roast high-quality coffee beans with precision and care. The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) standardizes the coffee beans to ensure quality control and defines it as coffee that scores 80 points or above on a 100-point scale in a cupping, or tasting, evaluation. For example, Meni’s Traditional Colombian Coffee scores between 85 – 90 points on this scale.

Specialty coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans, which makes it unique, complex, and full of nuanced flavors and aromas, while commercial coffee is usually made from Robusta coffee beans. On the other hand, specialty coffee has special flavors such as caramel, citrus, fruity, and even floral. Commercial coffee, on the other hand, has a bitter taste and common coffee aromas, such as cocoa, chocolate, and nut flavors, which come from different coffee beans and different sources.

How is it Produced?

The process of producing specialty coffee starts with the growing and harvesting of coffee beans. Specialty coffee production begins with growing and harvesting coffee beans in ideal conditions, such as high-altitude regions, to develop a unique flavor profile. After harvesting, the beans undergo careful processing to remove the outer layers and reveal the inner bean. The next step involves sorting and grading the beans based on their size, shape, and color.

Roasting is another important step in the production of this coffee. This process of heating the coffee beans to a specific temperature brings out the desired flavors and aromas. Specialty coffee roasters use precise temperature and timing techniques to roast the beans to perfection.

When it comes to enjoying specialty coffee, it’s important to appreciate the aroma, flavor, and texture of the coffee. Take your time to savor the flavors and note any unique characteristics of the coffee. Whether you’re enjoying a cup at home or at a coffee shop, high-quality coffee is an experience worth savoring.

In conclusion, specialty coffee is a unique and complex beverage that is worth exploring. With the right knowledge and techniques, you can brew and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. So, grab a bag of high-quality beans, experiment with different brewing methods, and start savoring your destiny in a cup.
