Specialty coffees: everything you need to know about these unique drinks

Also known as " specialty coffee," specialty coffees are highly sought-after, exceptional products that represent a tiny fraction of global coffee production. Founded in 1982 in the United States, the SCA (Specialty Coffee America) merged with Europe in 2017 to become the SCA. Present worldwide, they seek out original and special coffees, which are analyzed and rated according to very specific criteria. Aroma, flavor, acidity, body, and sweetness— nothing is left to chance, resulting in a Q-Grader score between 0 and 100. The quality of specialty coffees is undeniable, as they all achieve a minimum score of 80, supplemented by an analysis of the green, unroasted coffee. Considered flawless, they offer a unique tasting experience. Fancy a good specialty coffee? Head to Bordeaux!
