Specialty Coffee Roasters
Specialty Coffee Roasters are businesses that focus on sourcing high-quality coffee beans and roasting them to enhance their unique flavors. These roasters often prioritize direct trade relationships with farmers, ensuring fair compensation and sustainable practices. The beans are typically sourced from specific regions known for their distinct taste profiles, such as Ethiopia or Colombia.
The roasting process is carefully controlled, with attention to factors like temperature and time, to bring out the best characteristics of each bean. Specialty coffee is often graded based on its quality, with a score of 80 or above on a 100-point scale, distinguishing it from commercial coffee.
