Single origin or blend: what's the difference?
A single origin comes from one region, sometimes even one farm.
A blend combines coffees from different regions or countries, and sometimes different roasts, to make a flavor all its own.
Single origin coffee, explained
Single origin coffee comes from one place — one country, usually one region or estate, from one harvest. Worth drinking because it tastes of somewhere in particular.
What origin actually changes
Altitude, soil, varietal and processing all leave a mark. An Ethiopian dried on the cherry tastes nothing like a washed Colombian — without anything being added.
Process, in plain terms
Washed coffees have the fruit stripped before drying — cleaner and brighter. Naturals dry inside the fruit, which pushes them sweeter. Honey sits between.
They rotate, and that's the point
Harvests end. When a coffee sells through it is gone until the next crop, and sometimes it does not come back. A subscription is how you keep one while it lasts.
What does single origin coffee mean?
The coffee comes from one country, one region, and usually one harvest — not combined with anything else. What you taste is that place and that season.
How is single origin coffee different from a blend?
A blend is built for consistency; a single origin is allowed to be itself. That means more character and more variation, including from one year to the next.
Which single origin coffee should I start with?
The lighter roasts show origin most clearly — our Honduran carries blueberry, the Costa Rican orange blossom and peach. If you normally drink dark, start there instead and work lighter.
Never bitter, never burnt. If it ever is, tell us and we’ll make it right.
