Coffee Review, the specialty coffee industry’s largest and most respected buying guide, recently cupped and reviewed The Beanery’s Opus Blend. Happily, the blend was ranked as Outstanding (90). Of course, it is instructional and exciting for us to have Ken David and his crew of professional tasters describe our coffee using such descriptive terms.

Guide to buying specialty coffee roasted by The Beanery Coffee Roasters.
The first point of confusion…just what is specialty coffee? When a roaster buys and roasts coffee from a very specific coffee growing region that grows the highest grade Arabica coffee beans, they are working with specialty coffee. In contrast, due to their need to buy very, very large quantities of coffee, the large corporate coffee giants buy coffee en masse…from places that can grow it abundantly and cheaply, and where it is machine-harvested.
Specialty coffee is hand picked, and usually grown in high elevations, where the coffee grows slower (better taste), and only the ripe coffee cherries are picked by hand.

A Brief History of Coffee

The goat herder, feeling the typical effects of caffeine, could not wait to spread the news of this unknown fruit.
