Speciality coffee is sourced from specific regions known for their high-quality beans. It is often single-origin and undergoes careful processing, roasting, and brewing methods to ensure superior taste and aroma compared to regular coffee.

Speciality coffee is typically more expensive due to the quality of the beans and the care we take in tasting (cupping), processing, and roasting. However, our customers find the superior flavour and our ethical sourcing worth the extra cost!
