Specialty coffee is increasingly attracting discerning coffee lovers. The term is based on specific criteria: origin, bean quality, roasting method, and commitment to producers.
At Habari Coffee , in Lille, we do more than roast coffee: we tell a story, that of unique terroirs, artisanal know-how and a fairer industry.
What is specialty coffee?
Specialty coffee is coffee rated at least 80/100 by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
It is distinguished by:
-
Direct sourcing from passionate producers
-
Complete traceability , from field to cup
-
Artisanal roasting adapted to each origin
-
Complex and balanced aromas
Unlike industrial coffee, it does not hide behind opaque blends: each batch tells the story of a terroir and know-how.
