Our Specialty Coffees

At Shoukâ, all the coffees we offer are specialty coffees, 100% arabica, which come from producers and cooperatives located mainly in the following regions 

• South America (Colombia, Brazil, Peru) 
• Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador) 
• Africa (Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda) 
• Asia (Indonesia) 

We work closely with producers to ensure sustainable and fair farming. 

Specialty coffee is high-quality coffee that is traceable from production to cup and graded according to specific criteria. In particular, it must have very few defects, receive a score above 80/100 according to the SCA, and be roasted appropriately to best preserve its aromatic qualities.

The grind size depends on your brewing method: 

• Espresso: very fine grind 
• Manual filter (V60, Chemex): medium to coarse grind 
• French press: coarse grind 
• Moka pot: fine grind 

We can grind your coffee according to your preferences, or send it to you whole bean. When ordering online, you can choose the grind size best suited to how you prepare your coffee. 

At Shoukâ, the roast is tailored to each coffee, depending on the characteristics of the bean and the desired brewing method. Our goal remains the same: to best reveal the aromatic notes unique to each coffee, while ensuring a consistent roast from one batch to the next. We therefore work with several roast profiles: 

• Slow methods: designed to highlight the finesse and aromatic complexity of the coffee. 
• Espresso: suited to a shorter and more intense extraction. 
• Filter / Espresso (omniroast): a versatile profile, designed to shine in both filter and espresso. 

Store your coffee in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, and odors. Avoid the refrigerator. Ideally, consume it within 2 to 3 weeks after opening to fully enjoy its aromas. Therefore, upon receipt of your order, be sure to store the coffee properly to best preserve its aromatic qualities.
