The industry jargon for Coffee enthusiasts, like wine or beer aficionados, can sometimes sound like another language. One term often thrown around is “origin.” So, what does “origin” mean in the coffee world?

Simply put, it refers to the country where the coffee is grown. When you see “Single Origin” designated for a coffee, it means that particular coffee is sourced from a single country.

But it doesn’t stop there—this catchword can take you down a rabbit hole of specificity. Within an origin, we can trace coffee to particular regions, cooperatives, groups of small farmers, single farms, or even single-variety lots. Regardless of how detailed it gets, “single origin” always points to coffee from a distinct place in the world. The information on our bag—and on our website—will help you explore just how deep that rabbit hole goes!

While our single origin selection changes regularly, this is a map of the countries where we currently source our single origin coffee from.
