Q&A
Specialty coffee is an exceptional coffee that offers a unique tasting experience.
For a specialty coffee to be considered as such, it must be evaluated and graded according to strict criteria established by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
Here are some key elements that allow this designation :
- Quality: A specialty coffee must score above 80 on a 100-point scale assigned by a certified coffee taster (SCAA) or approved Q Grader (CQI).
- Provenance and origin: Specialty coffees are traceable from their plantation to the cup. This means that we know precisely their origin as well as the cultivation, harvesting and processing methods used. These premium coffees are usually associated with a specific production region, or even a particular farm or cooperative.
- Growing and Processing: Specialty coffees are often sustainably grown and sourced using environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
Our 6 Araku organic specialty coffees all obtained a score above 85: they are undoubtedly high-end specialty coffees.
Our Indian specialty coffees are not blends. They all come from the same plateau located in the Eastern Ghats mountains of India. All the coffee plots of the Araku plateau were analyzed and measured in order to classify them according to common terroir criteria. This approach nourished by the culture of wine in Burgundy allowed us to highlight the specificities specific to the Araku region : we identified 6 distinct terroirs depending on the sunshine, the quality of the soil, the altitude and vegetation. The Grande Réserve coffee terroir, for example, represents excellence in terms of biodiversity, richness of the soil and altitude: it produces coffee cherries of exceptional quality.
Our organic coffee comes from the Araku Valley region, located in the state of Andhra Pradesh in southern India. Located at an altitude of 1000 meters and surrounded by green hills, the Araku valley offers climatic and geographical conditions particularly conducive to the cultivation of organic coffee. Grown by the indigenous tribes of the region, Indian Araku coffee helps improve the living conditions of the tribal farmers who are involved in production. Organic coffee cultivation in the Araku Valley is therefore based not only on sustainable practices, but also on socio-economic development initiatives.
