Speciality Coffee

(8 products)

Speciality coffee is coffee selected for quality, character, and flavour - from how it’s grown and processed to how it’s roasted. This collection brings together our range of speciality-grade coffees, chosen for their clarity, balance, and distinct profiles. Speciality coffee is also defined by recognised quality standards.

Coffees in this collection meet the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) scoring scale, which is used worldwide to assess flavour, balance, and overall quality. Only a small percentage of coffees achieve speciality-grade status, placing these beans among the highest-quality coffees available.

If you enjoy coffee with more depth and individuality, speciality coffee offers a different experience from everyday blends. These coffees highlight origin and roast balance rather than aiming for uniform flavour, and are roasted fresh using 100% Arabica beans.

Speciality Grade 80+

Every coffee in this collection scores 80+ on the SCA scale, meeting the global standard for speciality quality.

Ethically Sourced

We partner with trusted farms and importers who prioritise fair prices, responsible farming, and long-term sustainability.

Roasted Fresh to Order

Each batch is roasted in small quantities at our Surrey roastery, ensuring maximum freshness and flavour.

What makes coffee “speciality”?

Speciality coffee is graded and assessed for quality before it reaches the roaster. Only coffees that meet strict standards for flavour, cleanliness, and consistency are classed as speciality grade.

These coffees are typically traceable to a specific region or farm, carefully processed after harvest, and roasted with attention to balance rather than speed or volume. The result is a coffee that’s more expressive, distinctive, and enjoyable in the cup.

Why choose speciality coffee?

Many customers choose speciality coffee because it offers:

  • More flavour clarity and character
  • Greater transparency around origin and quality
  • Fresh roasting rather than long shelf life
  • A wider range of tastes and styles

Speciality coffee suits those who enjoy exploring different coffees, but it doesn’t require expert knowledge to enjoy - just curiosity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is speciality coffee?

Speciality coffee refers to high-quality coffee that meets strict grading standards and is chosen for flavour, balance, and consistency.

What does SCA 80+ mean?

The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) uses a 100-point scoring system to grade coffee quality. Coffees that score 80 points or higher are considered "speciality," meaning they have exceptional flavour clarity, sweetness, and minimal defects.

Is speciality coffee better?

“Better” depends on preference. Speciality coffee offers more character and variety, while regular coffee often focuses on familiarity and consistency. Speciality coffee is carefully grown, processed, and graded for quality. It is fully traceable to the farm, ethically sourced, and roasted to highlight its natural flavour profile - not bitterness or defects.
