Single origin vs Coffee blends
The most basic explanation for single origin coffee is that it's sourced from one farm, region or country. And if full traceability is important to you, single origin coffee is the one for you.
A coffee blend, on the other hand, is exactly what it says. A blend of coffees from selected farms, regions or countries mixed to get the desired profile and sometimes even borne out of a bit of experimentation.
About single origin coffee
- Everything about where the bean is grown affects the coffee. This includes the climate of the region, farming practices, soil and altitude.
- It's exclusive to the farm, region/country and available exlcuisvely at certain times of the year.
- Each coffee has its unique characteristics and flavour, so it will always stay true to its flavour profile.
- Traceability, i.e. knowing exactly where the coffee comes from and who grew it, helps to support the farmers adn workers and make sure they're paid fair wages.
About coffee blends
- Takes the best qualities from different regions with different climates, soil, altitude and farming practices to create a well-balanced coffee.
