Shifting Landscape, Expanding Possibilities

Specialty coffee as a coffee with qualities, not only a quality coffee
5 settembre 2022 FREE

Lecture Overview

In the face of climate change and advances in technology, what is “specialty coffee”? For nearly 50 years, our understanding of specialty has been tied to a single coffee species: Coffea arabica. Using the attributes-based definition of specialty coffee, we’ll explore how our understanding of “specialty” has widened—and will continue to widen—in the coming years as we integrate new species and new processing methods into our specialty lexicon. Now that we understand “specialty coffee” as a “coffee with qualities” (rather than simply “quality coffee”), how might we articulate a green specialty coffee standard? What can we learn from our previous experience with new approaches? Whether entirely new or newly reimagined, these species and processing methods prompt important questions of access, market development, and conservation.
