Calma Coffee Club – Frequently Asked Que
Specialty coffee refers to the highest grade of coffee available, grown in ideal climates, carefully harvested, and expertly roasted to highlight the bean’s unique characteristics. It is graded 80 points or above on a 100-point scale by certified coffee tasters (SCA - Specialty Coffee Association) and represents only a small percentage of the world’s coffee production.
Specialty coffee originates from regions with high altitudes, rich soil, and microclimates that produce complex, flavourful beans.
Each bean’s journey—from farm to cup—is transparent, traceable, and respectful of both farmers and the environment.
Unlike commodity-grade coffee, specialty coffee focuses on quality over quantity. It involves:
Ethical sourcing with fair compensation to farmers
Sustainable farming and processing methods
Roasting profiles tailored to each origin
Freshness through small-batch roasting
Flavour clarity that reflects the bean’s terroir
At Calma Coffee we go one step further. We work with farms that empower women in the production chain. This means we source coffee beans from women farmers or where women have an important role in the production.
Specialty coffee involves more hands-on labour, better farming practices, and direct relationships with growers. You're paying for quality, sustainability, traceability, and a better experience in every cup.
