Coffee Single Origin

What is “single origin”?

It’s pretty simple, really, when you think about it. Single Origin coffee is coffee coming from a single place, whether that be a single farmer or a group of farms from a single country. All of my coffee is single origin, meaning I don’t mix or “blend” my coffee beans.

Pictured here you see a farmer tossing coffee cherries. Inside the cherries is a seed. Coffee beans are actually seeds that are roasted for consumption.

Legend has it that coffee was created so monks could stay awake for long hours of prayer. A goat herder named Kaldi had his flock of goats grazing. He noticed that after his goats ate berries from a coffee tree they became energized and did not want to sleep at night. There you have it. Goats love coffee and the rest is history.
