Try VIVA 100% Arabica coffee from Guatemala!
Single origin coffee.
The English expression "single origin" refers to the source of the beans. In order for it to receive this designation, all coffee beans must come from the same growing area and not be mixed with other types of coffee. In recent years, "single origin" coffee has become extremely popular, because it satisfies the desire of coffee lovers for an exceptional product with an incredible taste.
The title "single origin" is synonymous with a high quality standard. Only the best beans from a single harvest are selected to make coffee with this label. Coffee plantations are mostly located in cool mountain regions. The conditions there are most suitable for the coffee fruit to ripen slowly.
High quality of the coffee beans is also determined by the harvesting process: "single origin" coffee is harvested by hand, berry by berry (only the ripe berries are taken from the bush), not by "baring" (the entire branch is stripped, as all beans are harvested, regardless of their maturity).
Single origin coffee is roasted for a shorter time, as there is no need to compensate for the mixed ripeness of the beans like the ones in mixed origin coffee, which is roasted to a darker color. It is this short roasting that brings out the rich fruit flavor of "single origin" coffee.
