Professional coffee cupping

Quality begins with precise evaluation.

As certified SCA Q Graders, we select coffees on the basis of sensory analysis, clear criteria, and transparent evaluation.

Sensory selection

We do not select our coffees from lists or sample catalogues. Our selection begins at origin, through professional cupping and well founded sensory evaluation.

As certified SCA Q Graders, we assess coffees according to internationally established standards and document each lot in a clear and traceable way.

What defines a Q Grader

Q Grader training is regarded internationally as the standard for professional sensory coffee evaluation.

It provides a precise framework for assessing coffees objectively, classifying differences with confidence, and making quality comparable.

Coffees with origin and profile

Our selection is deliberately focused on microlots with clear origin and a precise sensory profile.

What matters is not volume or standardisation, but structure, transparency, and a distinctive cup character.
