Ninety Plus Coffee
With Ninety Plus coffee, Craig Simon, two times Australian
Barista Champion, said that “I think this is the coffee that wins
people over; because it gives them a true light bulb moment that
forces them to recalibrate what is possible to experience from a
‘coffee.” Taste Profiles of the Ninety Plus are given numeric
levels, Level 7 through Level 195. Quality, scarcity, and price
increase with level number. Ninety Plus’s dedication to experi-
ments and pushing of the limits has not only reveals some of
the world’s finest coffees, but has also helped, to evolve them
along with the farmers community. Through dedicated wok with
the producers, processing techniques, and variety separation,
Ninety Plus Coffee had strived to create these amazing beans.
