What is a Single Origin coffee?

Quite simply, Single Origin coffee is a coffee that is sourced from one single producer, crop, or region in one country. Every cup of coffee can be traced back to the exact producer of the coffee. It is not blended, mixed, or diluted with beans from other sources, and it is one of the purest coffee experiences you can enjoy.

With Single Origin coffee, you know exactly where your coffee is from and that it’s not a blend. It’s generally higher quality, and the flavor depicts its origin, possessing characteristics of the specific area where the coffee was grown.

Our Single Origin Coffee Varieties

Since our coffee is sourced directly from the producers, it’s not sitting in a warehouse for months at a time. Because of this, some coffees are seasonal and availability may vary.

Our 𝐆𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚 coffee is produced by the Galana Abaya Wet Mill in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia using a Natural method. If you’re unfamiliar, It is a method suited to arid regions, where the sun and heat can dry the seed inside the intact fruit skin. It’s often referred to as “natural coffee” because of its simplicity, and because the fruit remains intact and undisturbed, a bit like drying grapes into raisins.

This natural process coffee comes from the Gelana and Abaya districts in the Borena Zone of the Oromia region. There are approximately 1400 hectares shared amove 650 farmers. Once ripe cherries are picked, they are dried in the sun on drying beds for about 18-21 days. In the daytime, the cherries need to be raked periodically in order to ensure a consistent drying process. They also cover the cherries from 12 pm to 3 pm in order to protect them from the hot sun This cover is also used at night to protect the cherries from rainfall.

This Coffee’s Story

This coffee comes from El Mirador Finca El Rincón in La Libertad, Huehuehtenango, one of the world’s premier coffee growing regions and has been managed by the Molina family for over fifty years. It was Robert Molina who first planted bourbon trees on the property in 1968, and since his death in 2011, his wife Yolanda Golindo continues to grow great coffee on their 25 hectares of clay loam. Due to the remoteness of Finca El Rincón, their coffee is washed on site and patio dried.

Yolanda’s producer, Renardo Ovalle, is renowned in the world of specialty coffee, garnering numerous Cup of Excellence prizes and give back to the community, including a kindergarten and school for workers’ children, balanced meals and higher wages than many other areas.
