This coffee is distinguished by its high quality, as indicated by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCA), which determines whether these beans are considered specialty or not, by giving them points ranging from 80 and above, up to 100 points. Specialty coffee is grown in high altitudes and rugged areas, where farmers pay great attention to every stage of its cultivation, from planting to harvest. The fruits are hand-picked, with an emphasis on selecting only ripe fruits, which distinguishes it from commercial coffee. As a result of this meticulous process, specialty coffee has a unique taste and flavor, reflecting the care and effort that goes into its cultivation and processing.
