Single-origin coffees are sourced from a single geographical location — often a specific farm or region. This type of coffee is valued for its specific, unique flavor profiles, which reflect the soil, climate, and elevation unnique to its origin.

Single-origin coffee allows you to experience the distinct taste and aroma characteristics of coffees from different parts of the world. Buying single-origin beans is also a great way to support small farmers who focus on the quality of their coffee over quantity. Most store-bought coffees contain a blend of beans from large distributors that prioritize quantity over quality.

We work alongside professional coffee tasters to decide which roast level will bring out the best in each bean. Our central and South American coffees work best with a light roast or medium roast. In contrast, our Brazilian robusta and Vietnamese coffees tend to work better as a dark roast.

Absolutely! Single-origin coffees can be brewed just like any other coffee — any brewing method will do the trick. 

That said, most experts agree that darker roasts tend to produce the best espresso shots. Rather than looking for a specific origin to buy for your espresso machine, we recommend looking at the roast level instead. Medium works fine, but medium-dark and dark are generally preferred.

Yes, but only slightly. Growing conditions, such as amount and intensity of sunlight, elevation, soil conditions, and humidity levels can all impact the amount of caffeine a coffee will produce. With single-origin coffees, these subtle nuances will translate through to the final bean.

With that said, the difference in caffeine content from coffee grown in the hot, sunny, low-altitude climate of Sumatra won’t be much different from coffee grown in the cool, high-altitude mountains of Colombia.
