What is specialty coffee?

How is specialty coffee different from regular coffee?

Specialty coffee focuses on the quality and unique characteristics of the coffee beans, whereas regular coffee is more about mass production and consistency. Specialty coffee often has distinct flavors, and its beans are graded and scored based on attributes such as aroma, taste, and body.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of lychee, peach, and osmanthus blossoms. A creamy mouthfeel in the cup with flavors of milk tea and strawberry yogurt with a caramel-like sweetness that fades to peach tea as the cup cools.

This coffee also makes for a excellent Light roast espresso. We recommend 19g coffee to 45-50mL of 201F water with 30 seconds extraction time as a starting point.

Background Info

Granja Paraíso-92 is a family farm that produces different varieties such as Java, Pink Bourbon, Geisha, Pacamara, Caturra, Tabi, Castillo, Mara-Geisha and Colombia using highly innovative cultivation systems such as terraces, drip irrigation, shady and nutrition calculations in laboratory all aimed at producing a unique coffee that can be verified through the multiple awards obtained. Finca Paraiso-92 also has its own microbiology laboratory, quality laboratory and processing plant. Coffee processing here is quite unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Resembling a laboratory more than the typical coffee mill.

This lot is made from their Castillo variety.

The cherries are first sterilized and then undergo fermentation in cherries in a bio-reactor and are inoculated with Saccromyces Pastorianus yeast. After cherry fermentation then the coffee is pulped and subjected to a second fermentation phase. When the second phase ends, a bean sealing process is carried out through impacts of hot and cold water and then put into a drying machine for 46 hours at 38C (100F)

Beyond just the amazing flavors this is a very full, sweet, creamy cup and clearly of excellent quality beyond just however the flavors were achieved, a coffee we are sure you will enjoy immensely.
