In this step, we taste the result of all the work in the crop and the Yard.
Every lot is physically and sensorially analyzed by our Q-Graders (coffee classifiers and tasters classified by CQI – Coffee Quality Institute) in accordance with the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) method, in which the coffee is classified according to a scale ranging from 0 to 100.
This score grades and evaluates each of the following characteristics: Fragrance & Aroma; Taste; Finalization; Acidity; Sharpness; Balance; Uniformity; Clean cup; Sweetness; General.
In the quality laboratory of our farm, the coffees are classified and tasted following every rule of that method: Toasting ranges from #65 to #55 (SCA-Agtron System), toasting rest: 8-24 hours, water: pH preferably below 7.0; temperature: 9°C (First boiling point); concentration: 10 g per 165 ml cup.
Thus, we manage to evaluate each lot produced in our farm or by our partners. Then, we can identify and take conclusions on every process, from the crop to post-harvesting and storage.
