Specialty Coffee
☕☕☕
From bean to cup
Specialty coffee can consistently exist through the dedication of the people who have made it their life's work to continually make quality their highest priority. This is not the work of only one person in the lifecycle of a coffee bean; specialty can only occur when all of those involved in the coffee value chain work in harmony and maintain a keen focus on standards and excellence from start to finish. This is no easy accomplishment, and yet because of these dedicated professionals, there are numerous specialty coffees available right now, across the globe, and likely right around the corner from you.

Typically, speciality coffee is grown at high altitudes, with much care and attention from the farmer. From there, it is sold at a premium to coffee traders, or direct to roasters. The roasters then create custom profiles for each coffee, enhancing and highlighting their natural flavours. Baristas then use the carefully grown and roasted coffee to produce quality beverages, often with high precision and specialised equipment. More info
