Specialty coffee

Discovering specialty coffees

At Torrefactory, many of our partnerships are with small-scale producers of specialty coffees. We visit the plantations for you and reveal their secrets in our blog posts. Location, photos, harvest time (by hand, of course), coffee cherry ripening, drying and sorting... We tell you all about the origins of your Torrefactory specialty coffee.

A traditional café first and foremost

A specialty coffee is, first and foremost, a coffee grown by hand, benefiting from generations of expertise. There's a reason your taste buds explode with every sip: the meticulous processing of green coffee, followed by an equally meticulous roasting, this time in Belgium.

The essence of specialty coffee: the role of small producers 

The significant impact of small-scale producers on the quality of specialty coffee is indisputable. They are at the heart of sustainable agriculture and harvesting practices that respect the environment and guarantee the uniqueness of each bean. These producers, true coffee artisans, use methods that preserve the unique aromatic nuances of their harvests. Their hard work enriches the specialty coffee value chain, fostering the exceptional quality appreciated by connoisseurs the world over. By supporting these small-scale producers, lovers of specialty coffee from Torrefactory contribute to the sustainability of ethical farming practices and also encourage the economic development of the producing communities. This reciprocal support between consumers and producers highlights the beauty of conscious and responsible consumption, underlining the importance of a transparent and fair supply chain.
