This is a thread/forum to discuss, share and learn about specialty coffee.
In essence, coffee is given a score at origin (the country where it's grown, harvested and processed) and if it's above 80, it's considered specialty.
In other words, if the coffee tastes good and has very few stones, sticks and other foreign objects, it enters the esteemed category of specialty.
If you're in South Africa, you can experience what I'm talking about at places like:
-Rosetta Roastery
-Cedar Coffee Roasting
-Sorcery Coffee Roasting
-Ollie's Café (in Sea Point, Cape Town)
I know of a few international roasteries that I can recommend on request.
If you've ever had any questions about coffee at all, this is a good place to do it
