Region: The region indicates the geographical location where the coffee is cultivated. Factors such as climate, altitude, and soil influence the flavor profile. For example, coffees from Latin America often exhibit fruity notes, while African varieties may stand out for their floral and citrus flavors.

SCA (Specialty Coffee Association): The SCA establishes standards for the quality of specialty coffee. It provides guidelines for the cultivation, roasting, and preparation of coffee, ensuring high standards of quality and flavor.
