Quick answerSpecialty coffee is high-quality Arabica coffee, typically scoring 80+ points out of 100 by trained cuppers, with few defects, a traceable origin and careful processing and roasting. It focuses on flavor and transparency rather than volume.
What sets it apart
- Known origin (country, region, often farm)
- Hand-picked ripe cherries
- Small-batch, fresh roasting
- Distinct flavor, not just "coffee taste"
Where Yemeni coffee fits
Yemen produces a tiny amount of coffee by world standards, grown by small farms using centuries-old methods, which places it among the most sought-after origins.
