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 various 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.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

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.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

Chiapas, Mexico

Chiapas, located in southern Mexico along the Guatemalan border, is renowned for producing some of the country’s finest coffee. Grown at 1,300 to 1,700 Masl in nutrient-rich volcanic soil, Chiapas coffee is celebrated for its complex flavour profile, often featuring notes of chocolate, nuts, citrus, and lemon, with a smooth, well-balanced body and mild acidity. The region’s Café de Altura beans, cultivated at high altitudes, are particularly prized for their richness and depth. Despite being Mexico’s poorest state, Chiapas produces 40% of the country’s coffee, driven by the dedication of its indigenous farming communities.

Washed Processing

The washed process involves removing the outer skin and fruit from the coffee cherries before fermentation. After the cherries are depulped, the beans are fermented for 8 to 72 hours, depending on the conditions, to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then washed in fresh water and dried to the desired moisture content. This method enhances the coffee's clean, bright flavour and clarity.
