From the page about Specialty coffee on Wikipedia:
“Specialty coffee is a term for the highest grade of coffee available, typically relating to the entire supply chain, using single origin or single estate coffee. The term was first used in 1974 by Erna Knutsen in an issue of Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. Knutsen used specialty coffee to describe beans of the best flavor which are produced in special micro-climates.
The widely accepted definition of specialty coffee is coffee scoring 80 points or above on the 100-point scale used on the Specialty Coffee Association Cupping form. Specialty coffee is grown in special and ideal climates, and is distinct in taste due to its complete flavor image in the cup, and due to few or no defects. The unique smells and coffees are a result of special characteristics and the complexity of the soil where the coffee is produced. At the same time, growing specialty coffee is a piece of craftsmanship.
Specialty coffee is high-quality coffee and is only available on a very limited market. In Norway, the specialty coffee industry stands out from the industrial part of the sector. The small independent coffee roasters in Norway generally only purchase specialty coffee by sourcing green coffee beans. These are roasted in the roastery and mostly sold without being blended with other coffee varieties.»
The Coast Coffee is situated on the island of Lovund, about a 5 minute walk from Lovund Hotel, and a 15 minute walk from the ferry-and express boat dock.
