Exciting news! 💫 The SCA has published standard SCA-105 as the official method to assess coffee's extrinsic attributes using the Coffee Value Assessment (CVA). We've also released an updated version of the Extrinsic Form, replacing the earlier Beta version.
🗣️ SCA Technical Officer Mario Fernández-Alduenda sums it up perfectly:
"For the first time, the specialty coffee industry has a shared way to talk about what makes coffee valuable beyond flavor—a common language for all the qualities that define its worth."
