Specialty coffee

If you're wondering what specialty coffee is, it's coffee that has achieved a high score in tastings conducted by certified professionals. Specialty coffee begins at the origin: selected beans from the finest coffee, grown in specific areas with unique microclimates, and hand-picked at their optimum ripeness.

Benefits of specialty coffee

Origins

The origins of our specialty coffees include Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru Laguna, Ethiopia Sidamo, Sumatra Raja Gayo, Colombia Cauca and Brazil Santos. Each brings its own sensory profile, from fruity and floral notes to chocolatey or spicy nuances, depending on the country and region.

Specialty coffee beans allow these differences to be clearly appreciated, as each batch includes information about the territory, altitude, and cultivation conditions from which it originates.

Freshness and better preservation of aromas

The bean best retains its properties until the moment of grinding. Grinding it just before preparation preserves the natural aromas and nuances of specialty coffee, achieving a more intense cup that is truer to the original profile.

Medium-low roast and quality in the cup

The medium-light roast used in our speciality coffees preserves the bean’s natural qualities, ensuring a balanced and clean cup. Furthermore, this type of roast helps to keep acrylamide levels low compared to more intense roasts, reinforcing its healthy profile within a 100% organic range.
