Frequently Asked Questions

What is single-origin coffee?

Single-origin coffee comes from one specific location, usually a single farm, co-op, or growing region. Unlike blends, which combine beans from different places, single-origin coffees highlight the unique characteristics of where they’re grown: the soil, altitude, climate, and processing methods. Every cup tells a distinct story of place.

Is single-origin coffee better?

That depends on what you’re looking for. Single-origin coffees offer clarity and complexity, with flavors that reflect their origin. You might taste citrusy notes in an Ethiopian roast or chocolatey richness in Guatemalan beans. Blends are designed for balance and consistency. Many of our customers enjoy both, depending on their mood or brew method.

Is single-origin coffee good for espresso?

Yes, especially if you want something bold and expressive. Our Sierra Negra Espresso Dark Roast is a single-origin coffee from Ethiopia crafted specifically for espresso. It has a full-bodied, well-balanced flavor with a rich crema, sweet aroma, and sultry bronze color. Single-origin espresso often provides a more distinctive experience in every shot.
