Buy CoffeeWhat is specialty coffee?
It's not a marketing label: it's a standard that is measured, controlled, and demonstrated at every stage.
He specialty coffee It is coffee that achieves exceptional quality thanks to meticulous care at every stage of the process: the variety, the altitude at which it is grown, the selective harvesting, the processing, and the roasting. Unlike commercial coffee, it is cultivated with discernment, harvested bean by bean at its optimal point of ripeness, and processed to preserve its full sensory potential.
The result is a clean, complex, and consistent cup, with clear notes and a profile true to its origin. At ISVAR, we take that promise to the next level: we grow, process, and roast our own coffee at La Cabaña farm.
Real traceability
Each batch has an identifiable origin: farm, variety, altitude and process. Knowing where your coffee comes from isn't a luxury, it's the foundation of quality. No intermediaries to dilute the story of the bean.
SCA score 80+
Specialty coffee is evaluated under the protocol of the Specialty Coffee Association. Only cafes that exceed the 80 points out of 100 In a professional tasting, they receive this category. Quality measured, not promised.
Why does it cost more? Because behind every cup there's hand-harvesting, bean-by-bean selection, controlled processes, and precision roasting. You pay for traceability, freshness, and artisanal work that respects both the coffee and those who grow it. It's not more expensive coffee: it's coffee that's worth every penny.
Ecuadorian Specialty Coffee
Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world where coffee grows in exceptional conditions: altitude, volcanic soils and Andean microclimates which concentrate sugars and develop unique aromatic profiles. This geographical diversity is our greatest advantage.

About Specialty Coffee
Specialty coffee scores above 80 SCA points, is selectively harvested, and maintains complete traceability from the farm. Regular coffee is mass-produced, without origin or process control, resulting in a less clean and complex cup.
Exceptional. Ecuador's Andean altitude, volcanic soils, and microclimates create ideal conditions for developing unique aromatic profiles, with concentrated sweetness and bright acidity that are hard to find in other origins.
Store it in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Buy whole beans and grind them just before preparing: this way you preserve the aromas and freshness for much longer.
