Coffee Origins

What makes a single origin special?

Discover how place, variety, and processing shape a coffee’s flavor.

Coffee cherries on the branch

A single origin coffee comes from one country, region, or even one farm. That focus lets you taste the place it was grown.

Altitude and climate

Coffee grown at higher altitudes matures slowly, which builds sugars and complex acidity. That’s why our Ethiopia tastes like peach and bergamot.

Processing changes everything

Washed coffees taste clean and bright. Natural coffees, dried inside the fruit, taste sweeter and more jammy. Same bean, different story.

Next time you visit, ask to try our Ethiopia and Colombia side by side. It’s the fastest way to understand origin.
