Single Origins

Single-origin coffees are the beloved gems of the specialty coffee world, each with its own unique flavour and story. They bring the taste of a specific region's varietals right into your cup, letting you globe-trot with every sip. Each bean has a tale to tell about its homeland, from volcanic slopes to misty forests. Each crop is a one-of-a-kind experience, as individual as a fingerprint and just as intriguing. 

This is why you will often see only the country of origin listed on the label. As a small roaster, it is often difficult to secure the exact same lot from the same farm with every order. Occasionally, I have to order beans from a completely different producer or region. It's a challenge to edit labels every time a new bean is introduced, but the information on the website will always be up to date.

What I absolutely always try to do is order beans with the same characteristics and notes that you've come to expect. 

Very generally, here is a breakdown of the common characteristics by country:

Brazil:
•natural/dry process
•hints of chocolate & nuts
•I roast these to a "Dark" roast level

Ethiopia:
•natural/dry process
•hints of berry with a juicy or wine-like body
•I roast these to a "Medium" roast level    

Guatemala:
•washed/wet process
•hints of bright citrus & stone fruits
•I roast these on the lighter side of "Medium" roast level  

Peru:
•washed/wet process
•hints of dark chocolate and molasses or brown sugar
•I roast these to a "Medium" roast level
