What Makes Specialty Coffee Special?

At Parak’s Farms, we are dedicated to growing only specialty coffee beans—but what truly sets them apart?

Specialty coffee is a high-quality coffee carefully grown, processed, and brewed to bring out its unique flavors and characteristics. Typically made from Arabica beans, it must score 80 points or higher on a 100-point scale, as evaluated by certified Q-Graders under Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) standards. Only about 5–10% of the world’s coffee qualifies as specialty grade, making it a rare and exceptional choice compared to mass-produced coffee.

What Makes Them So Rare?

Unlike commercial coffee, specialty coffee requires strict growing and processing conditions.
Ideal Growing Conditions

Ideal Growing Conditions

Specialty coffee is not grown in abundance. It thrives only at high altitudes (1,200m+), in specific climates, and rich soil.
Selective Harvesting

Selective Harvesting

Each cherry is hand-picked at peak ripeness, ensuring quality over quantity.
Smaller Farms, Limited Production

Smaller Farms, Limited Production

Many specialty coffee farms are small, family-owned businesses that focus on quality rather than mass production.
Labor-Intensive Processing

Labor-Intensive Processing

Specialty coffee undergoes precise wet or dry processing, controlled fermentation, and expert roasting, making large-scale production challenging.

At Parak Harvest, we are committed to producing specialty coffee that stands out—not just in quality, but in the care and passion behind every bean.
