Specialty coffee comes from the passion and dedication of an ecosystem that strives to put quality as its top priority. It is a coffee without defects, that has a particular flavor, and has been grown in a specific area. The factors such as height, temperature, humidity, and shade of the land are taken into consideration, to promote the production of extraordinary quality with aromas and distinctive flavors.

In specialty coffee production, there are several actors involved to ensure that the consumer receives a cup of superior quality. If we compare it with wine production, we will see that traditionally a vineyard is responsible for the entire production process, from planting the vines to bottling and labeling wine.

The opposite happens with specialty coffee, a process that involves the producer, the taster, the green buyer, the roaster, and the barista who form a collaboration chain that has the ultimate goal of offering coffee of outstanding quality.

For this, each of them must make decisions, such as defining the farm characteristics, the harvesting and drying techniques, the roasting, and the final preparation of the cup that the consumer will receive.

The specialty coffee production process is an art that involves many people’s efforts, is the result of a work of excellence from the beginning of production to the end when the customer drinks an exquisite cup of coffee and gives a gift to their palate.
