Our Special Coffee History
The Special Coffee
Excellent quality coffee, grown and fermented to a substantially higher level than normal, is Special Coffee. Erna Knutsen coined the term in a 1974 edition of the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. Specialty coffee is rich in antioxidants and nutrients that will help the consumer live a healthier life. Price, suitability and proper fermentation techniques are some of the positive factors that favor the demand for specialty coffees. This Coffee has several benefits such as it improves energy levels, helps to burn fat, improves physical performance, combats depression and is a good source of antioxidants. It is used for its energizing and healing properties.
