Specialty coffee is basically a quality
movement aimed at creating a market segment for coffee that is distinctly
different with a focus to translate the high quality into higher premium.
Specialty coffee- as defined by Specialty Coffee Association of Europe
Specialty
Coffee is defined as a crafted coffee- based beverage, which is judged
by the consumer (in a limited marketplace at a given time) to have
a unique quality, a distinct taste and personality different from
and superior to, the common coffee beverages offered. The beverage
is based on beans that have been grown in an accurately defined area,
and which meet the highest standards for green coffee, and for its
roasting, storage and brewing.
Three types of Indian coffees are
widely accepted as specialty by importers across the world:
