In the world of specialty coffee, craftsmanship, transparency, and origin have always been at the core. But in recent years, a new player has quietly entered the scene – infused coffee. This involves beans flavored with, for example, vanilla, rum, or fruit after harvest.
Just five years ago, this was almost taboo among coffee enthusiasts; it was seen as cheating – a way to mask low quality with added flavors. But times are changing. Today, there is growing interest, especially among younger coffee lovers seeking new taste experiences and storytelling beyond the ordinary.
At Fish Harbour Roasting Company, we love genuine flavors. But we are also curious. We don’t believe in simple answers – every cup tells a story. Infused coffee raises questions. And maybe that’s exactly why it’s worth talking about.
What do you think? Is infused coffee an exciting development – or a step away from what we call specialty?
