What Makes Coffee "Specialty"?

The term "specialty coffee" refers to coffee that scores 80 points or above on a 100-point scale. This is a mark of high quality, encompassing factors like bean origin, growing practices, and processing methods. Specialty coffee often comes from very specific regions, known for producing excellent beans, such as our Cristo Rey, which is grown at Guadalupe Gold Farm.

Can Specialty Coffee Be Decaffeinated?

Absolutely! Many people love the rich flavors of specialty coffee but prefer a caffeine-free experience at times. Our Digest Blend - Swiss Decaf is a stellar example, crafted to be gentle on digestion without compromising on the taste you adore.

How Do Flavored Specialty Coffees Differ?

Flavored specialty coffees are infused with various tastes that complement the natural profile of the beans. These aren't your average flavored coffees—quality is key, and natural flavorings are often used to enhance the coffee drinking experience. Take our Irish Cream Coffee for instance. It combines the robust flavors of coffee with the warming notes of classic Irish cream.

Can Specialty Coffee Include Unique Blends?

Certainly! Blends can offer unique flavor profiles by combining beans from different origins. A perfect example is our BALANCE BLEND | Vietnamese Lavender Coffee, which marries the floral notes of lavender with the rich depth of Vietnamese coffee for a serene experience.
