Many factors influence flavor, including coffee variety, inputs, climate, and processing. Not to say that a single-origin coffee necessarily tastes better than blends or year-rounds, but that each Single Origin tastes different, one to the next. Now that we understand what a single-origin coffee is, let’s talk about what makes them special. Members of the Organica Cooperative selected this name to represent themselves and the idea of connecting across borders. An example here is La Golondrina, from Timbio, Colombia. In this case, that group usually has chosen a name to identify themselves and their coffee. A good example of this is Finca El Puente from Macala, Honduras, a farm owned and named by Moises and Marysabel Caballero.Īnother possibility is that a coffee comes from a producing group within a limited geographical area. If a coffee comes from one farm or producer, we often name it after that farm or producer. To highlight this, we name our single-origin coffees as specifically as possible, usually with guidance from the producers. We believe in being as clear and detailed as possible with our coffees’ origins. At Counter Culture, we define our Single Origin coffee much more specifically– they can all be traced to a region, a cooperative, and even an individual farm and producer. Look on the shelves in your local grocery store, and you’ll see coffees with labels as generic as “Ethiopian Coffee.” Many people would consider this to be single-origin because all the coffee comes from that one single country. Defining a place can be very complicated. Yet, like so many things in coffee, what this means exactly depends a LOT on the context. On the surface, “single-origin” sounds like a straightforward description of something that comes from one place. Here, we’ll take a deep dive into what a single-origin coffee is and why you might want to try one. Our coffees fall into three main categories: year-round, single-origin, and seasonal releases.
With that in mind, let’s dive into our menu to help you find your ideal coffee!
While it’s nice to have options, it can also make picking your favorite a challenge.
