    Single origin vs blend

    A single origin comes from one country — often one farm, co-op or lot — so the cup reflects a specific place, varietal and process. Blends mix origins for a consistent, year-round house style. Single origins are more distinctive and traceable but vary by harvest; they’re the choice when you want to taste terroir rather than a repeatable flavour.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is single-origin coffee better than a blend?
    Not better, different. Single origins showcase a specific place and are great for filter and black coffee; blends are engineered for balance and consistency, which often makes them the stronger choice for espresso and milk drinks.
