Arabica Specialty

Introduction to Specialty Arabica Coffee

Specialty Arabica coffee represents the highest-grade segment in today’s coffee market, known for exceptional quality and refined flavor profiles. This standard applies exclusively to Arabica coffee, similar to how Fine Robusta defines the premium tier for Robusta beans.

According to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), a coffee is classified as “Specialty” only when it is Arabica and scores between 80–100 points on the SCA scale. Any score below 80 places the coffee into the Commercial Coffee category. This distinction highlights that Specialty Arabica is not just “good coffee” but the result of strict standards in cultivation, processing, and quality evaluation.

Specialty Arabica and SCA Standards

Specialty coffee is evaluated through a cupping test conducted by certified Q Arabica Graders from the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), ensuring accuracy, consistency, and global recognition.

The cupping process is conducted as a blind test to ensure objectivity, fairness, and strict compliance with SCA standards. Results consistently show that any coffee classified as Specialty possesses outstanding quality and a distinctive flavor profile.
