Single-Origin vs. Blended Coffee: Which One’s for You?

Single-Origin vs. Blended Coffee: Which One’s for You?

What’s the Difference?

Coffee comes in two types: single-origin and blends. Single-origin means the beans come from one place—one farm, region, or country. Blends mix beans from different places to create a balanced flavor.

Single-Origin: Pure and Unique

Tastes: Distinct, sometimes fruity, floral, or nutty

Best For: Black coffee, pour-over, French press

Single-origin coffee is like a fine wine. It has a clear, unique taste. But that means it can also change depending on the harvest. If you like experimenting with flavors, it’s a great choice.

Blends: Smooth and Reliable

Tastes: Balanced, consistent, and sometimes chocolatey or nutty

Best For: Espresso, milk-based drinks, everyday coffee

Blends mix beans to create a steady, predictable taste. Many cafés use them for espresso because they work well with milk. If you like your coffee tasting the same every day, blends are a solid pick.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you like bold, distinct flavors, try single-origin. If you want a smoother, well-rounded cup, go for a blend. The best way to know? Taste them both and see what you prefer. You can get our sample pack to give a try to several of our flavors.
