What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness, and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

    Blends do not receive an official score because they combine coffees from multiple origins to achieve a balanced and consistent flavour profile. However, we only use coffees that score 85+ to ensure high quality in every blend.

    What is a blend?
  • A blend is a combination of coffees from different regions, farms, or cooperatives, carefully selected to create a harmonious and well-rounded flavour profile. Unlike single origin coffees, which highlight the distinct characteristics of one place, blends are crafted to achieve consistency, balance, and complexity across seasons.

    What are tasting notes?
  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process. In blends, tasting notes are carefully curated by combining coffees that complement and enhance each other.

    What is the processing method?
  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste. Because blends contain coffees from multiple origins, they may feature different processing methods, such as washed, natural, or honey, contributing to their unique depth and complexity.

Our Passion, Your Coffee Exploration

We've often heard from fellow coffee lovers: "Where do I even start?" The world of specialty coffee is vast and exciting, but it can be overwhelming to choose a new coffee or commit to a full bag without knowing if you'll love it. This is exactly why we created THE EXPLORER'S COMPASS: 10 Coffee Journeys. Our core passion at Coffee Gems is discovering exceptional coffees from world-class farms, and we wanted to share that journey of discovery with you. This collection is our way of being your personal guide, making it easy and enjoyable to explore diverse profiles and find your next favourite brew, one cup at a time.
