On our coffee journey, there is a magical phrase we keep coming across - Single Origin. In this article, we will dive deep into the rich and diverse world of single origin coffees, reviewing a few notable mentions that might just change your perspectives on your everyday brew.
What is Single Origin Coffee?
Before we embark on our adventure with single origin coffee reviews, let’s give some context to better understand what we mean by 'single-origin'. Simply put, single origin coffee is a bucket term that refers to coffees coming from one place, whether it is a single farm, a specific area within a farm, or all the farms within a particular geographical area. The thrilling part of single origin coffees is their unpredictability and uniqueness, offering a distinct flavor profile each time.
Stumptown Coffee Roasters - Ethiopia Duromina
Our first stop is the Ethiopia Duromina from Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The coffee name translates to “improve their lives” and the cup indeed achieves this uplifting mission. It offers a beautiful, complex flavor profile, combining tastes of tropical fruit and floral notes. It is a light roast, making it perfect for a bright morning cup.
Blue Bottle Coffee - Bella Donovan Blend
Next up is Bella Donovan Blend from Blue Bottle Coffee. Although it is technically a blend, the beans come from only two regions: Ethiopia and Sumatra. Hence it's still considered a single origin coffee. Bella Donovan brewing in your coffee machine is like having a bowl of tropical fruit, with notes of blueberry and cacao, with a satisfying, robust body to balance it all.
Counter Culture Coffee - Big Trouble
Last but certainly not least on our list is Big Trouble from Counter Culture Coffee. This single origin coffee from Peru screams caramel and nuttiness, making it a perfect comfort drink for those cozy nights in. It offers a smooth taste, gliding gracefully over your taste buds, leaving a satisfying, clean aftertaste.
Daily Grind Tip
Just one final nugget of wisdom for your coffee journey – always grind your coffee just before you brew. This will significantly boost the flavor profile and overall quality of your brew. Remember, coffee is as much of a sensory experience as it is a means to awaken your morning!
Life is like a cup of coffee, it's all about how you make it or take it. So, get out there and explore, because the world is 'brew-tiful'. As the French philosopher, Voltaire once said, “Coffee is the common man’s gold…” Find your golden brew!
