Specialty Grade

March 29, 2007 · Filed Under Specialty Grade

I’ve been wondering.

There are a LOT of roasters in our state. A lot of them claim to be “high quality” “premium” or “gourmet”.. but how many are actually roasting strictly Specialty Grade coffee?

This may not appear to be important, but the description of this site specifically states: Specialty Coffee in the Lone Star State.

Not just “coffee”… but a specific grade of coffee.

So what should we do with the roasters list? What should we do with the shop list?

How do we know who is using Specialty Grade coffee and who is not from a mere link?

Usually, seeing a little tag that says “SCAA Member” is a good indicator, but not all of them have that.So, roasters, retailers, if you are roasting and retailing nothing short of Specialty Grade, we want to know.

I think it would be a good idea to keep the list as it is, but to differentiate the Specialty Grade coffee folks from the Premium or lower grade institutions. It makes a big difference.
