What actually makes coffee specialty?

Technically, it starts with a score. Coffees scoring 80 points or higher on the 100-point specialty coffee scale are considered specialty.

But for us, that’s just the starting point.

At The Hermit, we believe specialty coffee should go beyond what’s in the cup. It’s also about knowing where the coffee comes from, who grows it, how it’s processed, and the relationships we build with the people behind it.

And looking ahead, we believe farming practices and sustainability need to be an even bigger part of that conversation. Because enjoying great coffee today shouldn’t come at the expense of future generations.

Does that mean everyone needs to drink specialty coffee? Not at all.

Drink whatever you want. We just want you to know what you’re drinking.

A better Colombia is built through peace, not violence. 🇨🇴

We stand for democracy, sovereignty, and progress that puts people and our planet first.

True prosperity cannot be measured by economic wealth alone. It must be measured by the well-being of our communities, the preservation of our natural resources, and the opportunities we create for future generations.

Power and profit should never come before people and the planet.

Soulful coffee. Soulful progress.

Specialty coffee isn’t only for the morning.

If you’re putting thought into the cocktails, the w**e, the food, and the experience, the coffee you serve should get the same attention.

Whether it’s served on its own, after dinner, or used in drinks like carajillos, good coffee belongs behind the bar too.

The Hermit supplies specialty coffee to restaurants, bars, lounges, and other businesses that want the quality of their coffee to match the rest of what they serve.

How you brew your coffee can completely change what you get from it.

Grind size, water, ratio, temperature, and time all play a part. Change one of them, and the same coffee will taste a little different.

That’s part of the fun of brewing: tasting, adjusting, and figuring out what brings out the best in each coffee.

For Colombian coffee farmers, rainfall affects everything from flowering and cherry development to the health and productivity of the coffee plant.

With a very strong El Niño developing for 2026–27, hotter and drier conditions could put additional pressure on water availability across Colombian coffee regions.

And that matters beyond a single harvest. It’s another reminder of why water management, resilient farming practices, and responsible production are becoming increasingly important to the future of coffee.

At The Hermit Specialty Coffee, understanding where coffee comes from also means understanding the challenges faced by the people and places that produce it. If we care about where our coffee comes from, we have to care about what its future looks like.

A few seconds can change a lot.

During roasting, small changes in temperature, time, and development affects how coffee tastes in your cup.

That’s why roasting isn’t just about turning green coffee brown. It’s about making dozens of small decisions that shape the final cup.

Coffee mail is always a good day!

This one came from our fellow Colombian roaster Daniel at Flow Coffee Roasters in Georgia.

We treated ourselves to a Geisha from El Encanto farm in Palestina, Huila, produced by Frank Hoyos and processed with advanced fermentation. And judging by the smell alone, we’re in for something very fruity.

We care about delicious coffee, but even more about coffee with a story, a soul, and a connection to where it comes from.

Thanks, Daniel, for the coffee (and the little something extra!).

We’ll be cupping this one soon and sharing what we find in the cup so stay tuned! ☕️

Meet Dominic!

We’re really excited to have him on The Hermit team here in Corpus Christi, supporting us with coffee operations and the continued growth of the brand.

Dominic brings a really interesting mix of experience to the role. He has a background as a barista, has worked in high-end restaurants and around w**e, and through that has developed a strong appreciation for taste, aroma, and the small details that can completely change an experience.

He also comes with experience in several other areas, which makes him a great fit for a role like this one, where being adaptable and willing to wear a lot of different hats matters.

Glad to have you on the team and excited to see you grow with us, Dominic!

Washed, natural, or honey? You’ve probably seen these words on a coffee bag before. But what do they actually mean?

Processing is one of the many decisions made long before coffee reaches your cup, and it can influence everything from how the coffee is roasted to the flavors, sweetness, acidity, and body you experience.

None of these methods is necessarily better than another. They simply create different possibilities for the coffee.

So next time you’re choosing a bag, take a look at the process. Understanding a little more about how your coffee got there might help you understand what you enjoy in your cup, too.

There is always something new to notice, something new to understand, and something that reminds us we still have more to learn.

So we keep tasting, comparing, and asking questions.

That’s how we understand each coffee better.
