And coffee only when reaches 80 points or more is considered specialty coffee, and if it is above 90, it is premium. So, being one of the pioneer farms in specialty coffee production – “Specialty tycoon” with the above Ninety Plus (90+) is an ambition or commitment to the brand’s quality. Let’s solve this question with 43 Factory Coffee Roaster!

SCA and the global standard for quality

SCA Standards

Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) – The international specialty coffee association is an amalgamation of two American Specialty Coffee Associations (SCAA) and the European Specialty Coffee Association (SCAE). With a mission to inspire and connect the coffee community while elevating and expanding the specialty coffee industry to benefit the entire coffee supply chain from farmers, roasters, baristas,… With over 10,000 experts from all positions, SCA has become an extremely prestigious organization for quality assessment in the global coffee industry.

The coffee quality grading process at SCA is rigorous and based on many strict standards. Coffee has to go through evaluations for taste and the quality of the beans when they are not pre-processed, roasted, or ground. SCA Cupping From is the standardization that professional coffee appraisers (Q Grader) use to evaluate the quality of flavors for Arabia. This template was developed by expert Willem Boot based on the ten most comprehensive aspects of the essential coffee characteristics: Fragrance/Aroma, Flavor, and Aftertaste, Acidity, Body, Balance, Uniformity, Clean Cup, Sweetness, Defects, and Overall ( Overall).

The specialty of specialty coffee 90+

With the standards, the rigorous and meticulous scoring system SCA also divides the rating scale to separate the milestones to distinguish the attraction of the top floor SCA 90+ clearly:
Below 80 points: None
From 80 – 84.99 points: Very good
From 85 – 89.99 points: Excellent
From 90 to 100 points: Outstanding

As can be seen, coffee that goes through these processes and reaches 80/100 points or more deserves the title of specialty coffee, which must converge all the quintessence of heaven and earth and investment and care. Getting 80 is excellent and rare, but going over 90 is a premium touch point that any professional dreams of.
