FAQs—Single Origin Coffee

How can I tell if coffee is single origin? 

First off, look at the label. See if there’s a country, region or farm listed. They are more likely to go into depth about the way the terrier (soil, climate and processing methods) impacts the taste.

Why are single-origin coffee beans more expensive?

Single origin coffee beans usually cost a bit more because they’re sourced from one specific farm or region, often in smaller quantities. These beans are carefully selected for their unique flavour profiles and are typically grown with more attention to quality and sustainability. You"re not just paying for coffee—you’re supporting ethical farming, traceable sourcing, and some seriously standout flavour. Worth every sip.
