Origin Details

We update our coffee details as crops change. If we can’t source the same beans, we choose the closest match from a nearby farm with similar characteristics. Profile links are refreshed whenever updates occur.

SingLe-Origin

Single-origin (or single-source) coffee comes from one clearly defined place. That might be a single country, a specific region, one farm, or even a small micro-lot within a farm. Single-origin coffees highlight the unique flavors of their home. Soil, climate, elevation, and processing all leave their mark, creating distinctive taste profiles. Because these coffees aren’t mixed with beans from other origins, their character can vary with the harvest—making them an exciting choice for anyone who loves exploring new flavor experiences.

Organic Coffee

We source organic green coffee beans. While our beans meet organic standards, we have not completed formal certification, so our bags do not carry the official organic label. Rest assured, our coffees are grown and handled with the same care and practices you’d expect from certified organic beans.

A Little About Coffee

Coffee has a rich and fascinating history. Here are a few key points to get you started.

Coffee comes from the Coffea plant, a tropical evergreen shrub that thrives in warm climates.

There are many species, but the two most common are:

Arabica – Known for sweetness, complexity, and higher acidity.

Robusta – Higher caffeine, stronger and more bitter flavor, often used in espresso blends.

These plants grow best at specific elevations, temperatures, and soil conditions, which all influence flavor.

The plant produces small fruits called coffee cherries.

Each cherry typically has two seeds inside—these are the coffee beans we roast. Some cherries contain only one seed (called a peaberry), which can have a slightly different flavor.

The cherry has several layers—skin, pulp, mucilage, parchment—and how these layers are removed has a big impact on taste.

Before roasting, coffee beans are green, dense, and grassy-smelling.
They only become the fragrant, brown beans we recognize after processing and roasting.

Everything that happens before roasting—where the plant grows, how ripe the cherries are, and how they’re processed—shapes the coffee’s natural flavor.

Processing is how growers remove the fruit layers from the seed. Each method affects sweetness, acidity, and body.

Here are the major processing types:

Washed (Wet Process)

Cherries are pulped, fermented to remove mucilage, then washed clean.

Natural (Dry Process)

Whole cherries are dried in the sun before the seeds are removed.
Honey (Pulped Natural)

Cherries are pulped but dried with some sticky mucilage still attached.

Anaerobic Fermentation

Cherries or pulped beans ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks.

Carbonic Maceration

Inspired by winemaking; whole cherries ferment in pressurized CO₂-rich tanks.

Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah)

Common in Indonesia. Parchment is removed while beans are still wet.

Experimental Methods

Producers sometimes use blends of methods (e.g., double fermentation, thermal shock, co-fermentations) to create unique flavor profiles.

Roasting transforms green coffee beans into the aromatic brown beans we grind and brew.

Light roasts highlight origin characteristics—floral, fruity, bright.

Medium roasts balance natural flavors with caramelization.

Dark roasts develop rich, bold, roasty notes with lower acidity.

Roasting is part science, part craft. Each batch is roasted to bring out the best in that particular coffee.

Coffee cupping is the professional method used to evaluate a coffee’s flavor, aroma, and overall quality.

We brew small samples in a standardized way to compare coffees side by side.

Cupping helps roasters understand each coffee’s character and determine how to roast it to bring out its best qualities.

Brewing coffee is all about extraction—the process of pulling flavors, oils, and aromas from ground coffee using water. Different brewing methods change extraction by adjusting variables like water temperature, grind size, pressure, and contact time. Here are just a few ways to make coffee:

Pour-Over (Manual Drip Brewing)

Drip Coffee Maker (Automatic Filter Brewing)

Espresso (Pressure Extraction)

Cold Brew (Cold Extraction / Immersion Brewing)

French Press (Immersion Brewing)

AeroPress (Hybrid Pressure & Immersion Brewing)

There are countless types of coffee and just as many ways to brew it. Whether you love a bold espresso, a bright pour-over, a sweet iced drink, or something completely your own—there’s no “right” way to enjoy coffee.

Find what you love, make it how you like, and savor every cup.
