🌍 What Does Single-Origin Mean?
A simpler label with a rich story behind it.
🌱 What Is Single-Origin Coffee?
The term single-origin means that your coffee beans come from one distinct geographic location, typically a single farm, estate, or cooperative. It’s the opposite of a blend, where beans are mixed from different regions or countries.
But single-origin isn’t just about location. It’s about traceability, flavor clarity, and a deeper connection to where your coffee comes from.
✅ Quick Definition:
Single-Origin Coffee = Beans from One Specific Place
🌎 Why Origin Matters
Coffee, like wine or chocolate, is deeply influenced by terroir; the combination of soil, climate, altitude, and farming methods in a specific region. That means a bean grown in Ethiopia will taste very different from one grown in Guatemala, even if roasted the same way.
Single-origin coffees let those natural flavors shine through. You might notice fruity notes from a Kenyan roast or honey sweetness from a Papua New Guinea cup.
☕ What Makes Single-Origin Coffee Special?
-
Flavor Transparency
Each cup reflects the true personality of its region. There’s no masking or mellowing with beans from other places. -
Ethical Sourcing
With single-origin coffee, it's easier to trace your beans back to the farm and ensure farmers are fairly compensated. -
Seasonality
These coffees are often released in small batches at peak freshness, giving you the best of what the harvest has to offer.
📎 Sidebar Tip: Not all single-origins are the same.
Some are from one farm (called “single estate”), others from a small co-op in a specific village or valley.

This region produces high-elevation beans with notes of caramel, honey, and fruit. We chose it for its exceptional flavor and because we can trace it back to farms that support sustainable growing practices and community livelihoods.
