SINGLE ORIGIN COFFEE

Single origin coffee comes from a specific country, region, or even a single farm, rather than being blended with beans from multiple locations. This traceability ensures unique flavour profiles that reflect the terroir, climate, and processing methods of that origin. Coffee lovers often choose single origin to experience distinctive taste notes such as fruity, floral, nutty, or chocolatey tones.

Single origin coffee offers a pure expression of flavour, giving you the chance to explore how geography and farming practices influence taste. Unlike blends, which are designed for balance and consistency, single origin coffees allow you to discover new and exciting taste experiences. Many speciality coffee drinkers prefer them for their authenticity, traceability, and unique character.

The best brewing method depends on the flavour profile of the coffee and personal preference. Lighter roasts often shine when brewed with pour-over methods like V60 or Chemex, which highlight delicate notes. Espresso can showcase rich, bold characteristics, while French Press brings out body and depth. At Norfolk Pig Coffee, we provide tasting notes for each single origin so you can match them with your favourite brew style.

To keep your single origin coffee at its best, store it in an airtight container, away from light, heat and moisture. Do not put it in the fridge or freezer because temperature changes can damage the beans. Freshness is important, so we recommend buying in smaller batches and grinding the coffee just before brewing to preserve the delicate flavour notes that make each origin unique.

At Norfolk Pig Coffee, we carefully source our single origin beans from ethical farms and cooperatives around the world. Each coffee is roasted in small batches here in Norfolk to highlight its natural flavour profile. Our focus on quality, sustainability, and transparency ensures you’re not only enjoying an exceptional cup of coffee but also supporting responsible farming practices.
