Decoding SCA Coffee Scores

โดย : Ali เมื่อวันที่ : จันทร์ ที่ 22 เดือน ธันวาคม พ.ศ.2568

When you see an SCA score on a coffee bag it might appear as just another digit, but it actually provides a detailed snapshot of its excellence. The Specialty Coffee Association, known as SCA and their scoring system is the internationally recognized benchmark for determining specialty status. Scores fall between 0 and 100, and to qualify as specialty a coffee needs to score at least 80. That means every coffee with an SCA score of 80 or above has successfully passed a rigorous blind tasting conducted by trained professionals called Q Graders. <img src="https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1395/03/16/13950316175052247870654.jpg" alt="u062eu0631u0633 u0642u0647u0648u0647 u0627u06cc u062au0627u06a9u0633u06ccu062fu0631u0645u06cc u0634u062fu0647 u0631u0627 5 u0645u06ccu0644u06ccu0648u0646 u062au0648u0645u0627u0646 u0645u06cc u0641u0631u0648u0634u0646u062f - u062au0633u0646u06ccu0645" style="max-width:400px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px;"> Assessors judge the brew across several key dimensions: aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body, balance, uniformity, and cleanliness. Each element is assigned a distinct point value, and these individual ratings combine into the overall score. An 80–84 point coffee is typically refreshing, structured, and consistently delightful, often revealing clear flavors of berries, citrus, or <A HREF="https://forums.hostperl.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=422034">فروشگاه قهوه</A> cocoa. Exceptional coffee in the premium tier is uniquely remarkable—it often delivers complex, multi-layered flavors, boasts a vibrant, sparkling acidity, and offers a lingering, deeply rewarding aftertaste. These are the rare finds sought by passionate coffee lovers for their one-of-a-kind expression and skilled preparation. An SCA rating reflects more than flavor—it also encodes the dedication behind cultivation, picking, fermentation, and roasting. High scores typically originate from small farms that maintain rigorous standards throughout the entire process, harvesting only fully matured fruit to employing gentle, slow-drying techniques. This reflects the tireless effort of growers and the precision of skilled roasting teams. Grasping these scores enables more intentional coffee decisions. A top score doesn’t guarantee personal preference—some drinkers favor lower acidity or a fuller body, even if the score is a few points below. Recognizing the criteria behind the rating lets you explore with curiosity and confidence. It’s a guide, not a rule. Whether you’re drawn to a bright, floral 88 or a nutty, earthy 84, it illuminates the origins of its unique character and what makes it truly special.
