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)".
