single-origin coffee

One farm beans

Single-origin coffee comes from one geographic source—a single country, region, or farm—rather than being blended from multiple origins.

The term signals traceability and distinctive flavor characteristics tied to place: This Ethiopian single-origin has bright, fruity notes.

Popular in specialty coffee culture, where provenance matters like it does for wine.
