Coffee lovers, take note: there's a whole new world out there for you to discover. Specialty coffee is the highest quality of coffee on the market, and it comes with a lot of benefits for consumers and producers alike. If you're wondering what specialty coffee is all about, read on!

There are different certifications that specialty coffee falls under, including Fair Trade and Direct Trade.

Coffee is a speciality product that comes from countries like Ethiopia, Mexico and Guatemala. Some of the best coffee in the world can be found in these countries, but specialty coffee isn’t just limited to their borders. In fact, there are many different types of coffee from many different places around the world that could be considered “specialty."

There are several certifications for specialty coffee: Fair Trade, Direct Trade, Organic and Bird Friendly (to name a few). A certification means that some sort of criteria have been met regarding how a crop or product was produced or sourced. For example if an organic farmer uses pesticides on their crops then they will not receive certification because they aren't following organic rules which prohibit using pesticides as part of growing practices.

Coffee producers can get better prices through specialty coffee.

You may be wondering why specialty coffee is so much more expensive. The answer is simple: it's because of the labour and resources that go into producing it, as well as its high quality. While some farmers can barely make a profit on their regular coffee crops, specialty coffees can fetch a premium price in countries like the United States where demand has been rising steadily over time.

Specialty coffee is grown at higher altitudes.

The reason for this is that it grows best in cooler temperatures. The ideal temperature range for specialty coffee plants to grow is between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius (46-59 Fahrenheit). The temperature in mountainous areas tends to be cooler than the surrounding lowlands, so it's a good place for specialty coffee plants to thrive.

You'll find many high-altitude specialty farms on slopes facing north or east, which helps keep them cool during hot days. If you're looking for a place where you might find high altitude specialty coffee beans, think about regions like Ethiopia or Colombia--they're both known for producing delicious coffees from their mountain regions!

Specialty coffee is grown in a variety of different regions.

Some growing conditions are better for certain beans, and some places have more ideal locations than others. That’s why you can find specialty coffee from all over the world: because there’s such a wide range of conditions that it can be grown in.

The first thing to consider when looking for a good location for your own specialty roast is how much altitude you want to work with. If you want to grow your own coffee plants, then the higher up they are planted, the better their flavour will be — just like grapes taste better at higher altitudes!

If elevation isn't your thing but weather is (because who doesn't love playing god?), then think about where it rains most often during the year in your area. This will give you an idea of what kind of climate would be best suited for growing high-quality coffee trees as well as creating delicious blends that complement each other perfectly when roasted together later on down south somewhere closer to sea level where it's nice enough not just now but all year long too!

Specialty coffee has its own grading system, which goes from 1 to 5 and has A,B,C and D categories within those five grades.

There are five grades for specialty coffee: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Grades 1-3 are considered very special, whereas grades 4 and 5 can be purchased at grocery stores and gas stations. The grading system is based on bean size and density (grade 1), amount of defects found in the beans (grades 2-5), and amount of flavour found in the beans (#2-5).

The higher the grade number (1-3), the smaller your beans will be. This means that more surface area is exposed to oxygen during processing which leads to greater oxidation—and this is usually not a good thing when it comes to taste! In addition to size differences between grades 1-3 versus 4-5, there’s also an increased presence of defects such as insect damage or mould growth for lower grades than higher ones.

The flavours of specialty coffees vary widely depending on the region that they're grown in.

• The flavour of your coffee will vary depending on the region where it's grown, as well as its altitude and climate. Coffee beans that grow in higher altitudes tend to produce more complex flavours (think: floral, fruity or nutty).

• The soil composition of coffee farms influences how they taste too—the mineral content in the soil can influence a bean's acidity level, which affects its flavour profile.

• Soils with lots of limestone and clay tend to produce fruitier cups while sandy soils are often sweeter with hints of chocolate.

Specialty coffees have many benefits for consumers and producers alike!

Specialty coffee is a movement that seeks to improve the quality, reputation and sustainability of coffee production. By focusing on quality, producers are able to command a higher price for their product and have more control over the supply chain by which they sell it. Consumers get better-tasting coffee from specialty brands because they use higher-quality beans and roast them more carefully.

Specialty coffees are also much more sustainable than many other types of agricultural products: most specialty roasters buy only organic or fair trade beans, which means farmers don't need to use synthetic pesticides or fertilisers—and consumers can feel good about buying their daily brew from companies that support environmental stewardship!

Finally, specialty coffees represent a stable supply chain for both producers and consumers: since each coffee is grown in small batches (on farms no larger than 50 acres), there's less risk of crop failure due to drought or disease outbreak because there's less land being used overall; this means there's always enough supply even if something goes wrong with one season's crops."
