What Is Specialty Coffee?

1. The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)
The season of drinking coffee is here now. Whether it is the coldness of the morning or the autumn wind, people always want to indulge in the warm aroma of coffee. When it comes to coffee aroma, let’s talk about specialty coffee. There must be something special about being named “specialty.”
Specialty coffee is different from other coffees because specialty coffee is grown at the perfect altitude, at the right time of year, in the best soil, and then picked at the right time. All this transfers into the most exciting and delicious coffee in the world.
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) defines coffee as a coffee with a cup score higher than 80 out of 100. In general, specialty coffee is grown at high altitudes and cared for by farmers. It is sold to coffee traders at high prices or sell directly to roasters. Roasters create for each coffee the best roasting method for the batch of beans, enhancing and accentuating their natural flavors. Baristas typically brew coffee using high precision and specialized equipment. Specialty coffee is a series of high-quality services to ensure that people who drink it will get the quality of coffee, and its quality is systematically evaluated.
