How to Pick Single Origin Coffee

How to Pick Single Origin Coffee

Single origin coffee comes from one country, farm, or co-op instead of a blend. Origin is a clue, not a guarantee. Roast, process, and your brewer decide the rest.

Taste first

Want bright and floral? Ethiopia or Kenya. Balanced and sweet? Colombia. Deeper and earthy? Sumatra. Read notes as direction (cocoa vs berry), not dessert.

Roast and process

Light shows origin. Medium is the easy daily start. Dark adds roast flavor. Washed = clean. Natural = fruit. Honey sits in the middle.

Match the brewer

Pour-over and drip show clarity. French press likes body. Buy roast-to-order so those differences actually show up.
