What is a single-origin series of coffee beans?

Coffee beans will have many unique characteristics of producing areas, which come from climate, rainfall, soil, altitude and other factors. The flavor of coffee beans produced by each variety, each country, and even each producing area is different. However, because of many restrictions, it is difficult to trace the origin of some coffee beans, so the single coffee of single variety and single origin came into being.

Perhaps many partners have found that since our single-origin Yunnan coffee beans were put on the market at the end of 2017. The kid [single-origin series of coffee beans] appears in Starbucks' coffee bean series.

First of all, we look at the "single-origin series" from the name, which, as the name implies, is the selection of coffee beans from a single producing area. We often say that "geography is flavor". The vision of a single-origin series of coffee beans is to make the concept of region affecting flavor more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Maybe a partner wants to ask, "We already have a selection series, so why add a single-origin series?" Selection is good, but the rarity of coffee beans makes it a rare attribute that it cannot be listed in all stores. (some single-origin series of coffee beans)

For example, the following scenarios:

I have a Starbucks downstairs, but the nearest Zhenxuan store is ten miles away, but what can I do if I want to drink special beans? At this time, the significance of a single-origin series of coffee beans is self-evident. In order to better explain the concept of region affecting flavor, single-origin series are carefully selected coffee beans of good quality.

So far, Starbucks has launched coffee beans from Rwanda, Guatemala, East Timor and Papua New Guinea, which are the main producers of coffee beans in the world.

For coffee, the demand for its growth environment is mainly within the Tropic of Cancer, the climate is relatively cool and frost-free in winter; the rainfall is moderate; the soil drainage performance is good, and the pozzolanic soil is the most suitable; the elevation is distributed in the area of 20000m. In terms of altitude, the higher the altitude, the better the quality of coffee. Most of the high-quality coffee comes from highlands or mountains, and some Central American producing areas even grade coffee on the basis of altitude.

It can be said that coffee beans from a certain place of origin can represent the best quality of the region and convey the unique taste that the region gives to coffee.

However, in the end, Qianjie Coffee would like to remind everyone that a single origin only represents the source of coffee beans, and it does not score the quality of coffee beans, so single-origin coffee has a unique meaning and a certain geographical flavor, but it does not necessarily mean that high quality must be delicious. The best coffee is not necessarily single-origin coffee, and single-origin coffee may not be all to your taste.
