How is specialty coffee different from regular coffee?

Background Info

Uluwehi Farms is a new farm planted 3 years ago in Holualoa, Kona at 1900ft elevation. The farm is planted half with Red Bourbon, half with SL34. Both varieties grown from seeds of trees Miguel selected for planting and the Hula Daddy Waiono farm a decade ago. The farm was planted by and is maintained by Kraig Lee of Kona farm direct.

We processed this coffee using an Anaerobic Natural process: Fermenting whole cherries in oxygen restricted bags with selected yeast strains which intensified the tropical fruit flavors and gives the coffee a full, silky mouthfeel.

We entered this coffee to the 2022 Hawaii Coffee Association cupping competition where it took 5th place!
