Members of the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe

Published on Sep 02, 2010

We are are proud to announce we have been accepted as members of the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE).

Here at LeCafeShop, we believe gourmet coffee is the result of high quality beans met with excellent roasting techniques. But, in the eyes of a caffeine fanatic, there is far more to a good coffee than what goes into it.

The Aroma of a good coffee is enough to get any coffee lover’s taste buds tingling. Without our sense of smell, coffee would have a completely different taste and the only taste we would be able to identify would be sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. None of which would make for a good coffee.

Flavour is one of the most important factors and the aroma adds to the flavours we taste when drinking. Most of us have our own favourite flavors and some depending on the time of day (take a look at our comparison tool to see which coffees will suit your taste and pallet.)

The body of the coffee is also a key influence. How the coffee feels in your mouth when you drink and every roasted Haute Culture coffee we offer is tasted by a panel of 4 experts to ensure consistency is second to none (learn more about our specialty coffees).

If you’re unsure of the thickness and heaviness of a coffee can be determined by adding an equal amount of milk to each coffee, the ones with a heavier body will maintain more of their flavour when diluted.

Once you’ve found your perfect Specialty coffee from our Haute Culture gourmet range, your experience continues. Coffee not only helps clear the mind and perk up the energy, it also provides more antioxidants than most other foods or drinks in a typical diet. So what are you waiting for?
