As a Certified Q Grader, Esther is calibrated with a global network of professionals to evaluate and rate specialty Arabica coffee using a precise language and standardized rating system.
The goal of the Q Grader certification is to establish a universal language and objectivity in coffee, enhancing communication between producers, roasters, and baristas. This process not only improves the quality of coffee but also fosters stronger relationships across the supply chain.
In addition to her Q Grader certification, Esther is also an SCA AST (Specialty Coffee Association Accredited Trainer) in sensory skills, further deepening her expertise in evaluating and understanding coffee’s complex flavor profiles.
