The Journey of Single Origin Coffee: From Farm to Cup

What is Single Origin Coffee?

Single origin coffee means your beans come from one country, one region, or even one farm—not a blend. Each location gives the coffee a unique flavour profile shaped by altitude, climate, and soil.

 

For example, our Medellín Reserve Colombian Single Origin Coffee offers vibrant red grape, floral honey, and citrus zest notes, while Ethiopian single origins often bring bright floral and berry tones.

 

By keeping beans from a single source, we preserve the pure expression of that region’s terroir—similar to how fine wines reflect their vineyard’s character.

Where does our coffee come from?

At Black Crown Coffee, we source from specialty coffee farms across the globe:

 

Colombia – Bright, fruity sweetness with a smooth finish.

Ethiopia – Floral and citrus-forward, perfect for filter brewing.

Guatemala – Chocolatey depth with hints of nuts and caramel.

Costa Rica – Balanced body with stone fruit complexity.

Every farm is carefully selected for quality, sustainable practices, and fair pay for farmers. You can explore our full Single Origin Coffee Collection to discover more.

How do we roast and process for maximum flavour?

Our single origin coffees are roasted in small batches to highlight each bean’s unique characteristics.

 

Light Roast – Retains bright acidity and floral notes.

Medium Roast – Balances sweetness, body, and complexity.

Dark Roast – Rich, bold, and full-bodied.

We work with farms that use washed, natural, and honey processes, each offering different flavour benefits:

 

Washed: Clean, crisp flavour with higher acidity.

Natural: Sweeter and fruitier, with heavier body.

Honey: Smooth and balanced with complex sweetness.

Brewing the perfect single origin cup

The right brewing method helps unlock your coffee’s potential:

 

Pour-Over / V60: Perfect for light roasts to highlight floral and fruity notes.

French Press: Brings out boldness and body.

Espresso: Ideal for medium to dark roasts with chocolate and caramel tones.

For best results, grind your beans fresh just before brewing. Use filtered water and keep your brew ratio around 1:15 (coffee:water) for balance.

Why single origin coffee matters for sustainability?

Single origin coffee isn’t just about taste—it’s about making a positive global impact:

 

Supports farmers directly through fair trade relationships.

Promotes biodiversity by encouraging sustainable farming practices.

Reduces environmental footprint with ethical sourcing and processing methods.

By choosing Black Crown’s single origin coffees, you’re not just enjoying an exceptional cup—you’re supporting a supply chain that values people, planet, and quality equally.

Conclusion: Taste the story in every cup

Every bag of our single origin coffee tells a story—from the farmer’s hands to your brew. Whether you love bright and fruity Ethiopian beans or chocolatey Colombian profiles, there’s a world of flavour waiting for you.
