What is Single Origin Coffee?
Single Origin Coffee comes from one specific farm, region or producer, meaning the beans are traceable to a single origin rather than being blended from different sources. This allows the unique flavour profile of that place, its soil, altitude, climate and process, to shine through in the cup. From bright and fruity to smooth and floral, each coffee bean tells its own story. If you're after coffee with real character, single-origin coffee beans are the place to start.Single Origin Coffee comes from one specific farm, region or producer, meaning the beans are traceable to a single origin rather than being blended from different sources.

What are the benefits of Single Origin Coffee?
The beauty of single-origin coffee lies in its clarity. Because the coffee beans come from one origin, you get a more distinct and traceable flavour profile, whether it’s the sweetness of a Colombianfilter or the juicy acidity of a Kenyanespresso. It’s also about connection: knowing the region, process and even the producer behind your brew. For those seeking high quality, transparency, and a unique taste, single-origin coffee is a step closer to the source.
How do you enjoy Single Origin Coffee?
There’s no one way to enjoy single-origin coffee; that’s the fun of it! Some shine best as a clean filter, letting the flavour profile take centre stage. Others pack a punch as espresso, bringing out bold, complex notes. However you brew, the key is fresh, quality beans and a bit of curiosity. Explore different origins, play with your method, and take time to taste what makes each coffee bean unique.
