What does “single origin” mean?
A single-origin coffee comes from a single terroir, often from a single small plantation. No blends, no compromises: just the pure character of that land, that altitude, that processing method.
The result? Each cup evokes a specific place. Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia, Kenya: each origin has its own recognizable aromatic identity, even at the first sip.
The good news is that you can prepare them however you like: moka, espresso or filter (V60, Chemex, French Press, etc.).
