cru

Grand Cru coffee in your link is described as:

Grand Cru is a fully traceable coffee - sourced from some of the finest coffee plantations around the globe.

Strictly speaking, this is meaningless in wine terms. A "grand cru" wine is obtained from grapes grown at one specific site. Some grands crus are single-variety wines and others are blends but all the grapes are grown in the same place.

However, we are talking about coffee here and "Grand Cru" is a brand name, not a technical term. What you need is a list of three meaningful winespeak terms that can also be applied to coffee, which "variety", "selection" and "blend" undoubtedly are.

If you want to stress the geographical aspect of "cru", you might also consider "terroir" (this also seems to be used as a brand name for coffee, though) or "site (selection)".

Giles has come up with the perfect solution. If you're not comfortable with cru, go with selection.

I am reluctant to leave it as is because of the following: http://www.nespresso.com/uk/en/wheel
where it seems to mean something quite different
and this:

where it seems to be a brand. and some are blends...

Un "cru" è un ambiente (vigneto, piantagione), non una varietà:

Nel linguaggio comune il termine sta a indicare un singolo vigneto con le proprie caratteristiche particolari ma in alcune regioni vitivinicole il concetto è esteso a un territorio fino a comprendere un intero villaggio. Attualmente viene usato anche nell'olivicoltura.

concordo con missdutch, un 'cru' è una varietà di qualcosa utilizzata pura.

Non tradurla; è una parola francese che si ritrova soprattutto in enologia, ma è passata anche ad altri prodotti come il caffè e, se non sbaglio, anche al tè.
