SCA is the global stage for specialty coffee, where culture, commerce and community collide. As the world's largest coffee trade association, we bring together diverse voices across the value chain to spark dialogue, fuel innovation and make coffee a vibrant, relevant force for all. Through collaboration and progressive approaches, SCA supports the industry through research, standards, education, and events.

We're on a mission to get the UK drinking better coffee by making freshly roasted coffee accessible to everyone. Our world-class beans are bought directly from farmers to cut out middlemen and ensure a truly fair price is paid. We then hand-roast them in Surrey and ship them just days later to you.

Since 1996, Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) has worked to improve the quality of coffee and the lives of people who produce it. Quality is one of the most important variables that influence a coffee’s value. However, many producers do not have access to the tools and support they need to understand the quality of their coffee, improve that quality, access markets that reward that quality, ultimately enabling them to make more informed business choices. That’s where we come in.
