Specialty coffee is a premium category of coffee, a quality standard applied to Arabica coffee. Simply put, it is a high-quality, premium Arabica coffee. It is similar to the Fine Robusta coffee category.
There are many definitions of Arabica Specialty Coffee, but the most reliable is the definition from the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). According to the SCA, Specialty coffee must be Arabica and score between 80 – 100 on the SCA’s scoring scale. If it scores below 80, it is considered commercial coffee.
To score the coffee, it undergoes a cupping process by certified cupping masters. These masters have passed rigorous exams to earn the Q Arabica Grader certificate from the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI).
