1. Indication of origin: "single product" and "comprehensive" coffee

The coffee beans sold in the market can be roughly divided into two categories:

Single coffee (Single Origins)

Mixed coffee (Coffee Blends)

"single coffee" generally refers to a single style of coffee beans from a single country or producing area. It can be compared to a coffee solo. If a bag of coffee is marked with the name of a coffee-producing country (coffee beans are not produced in continental Europe, and if the label says the names of European cities such as Italy, Vienna, etc., it is not individual coffee.) Generally speaking, it means that this is a bag of individual coffee. Such as Ethiopia-Yega Chefe (EthiopiaYirgacheffe), Sumatra-Tawar Lake Mantenin (Sumatra Lake Tawar), Guatemala-Antigua (GuatemalaAntigua) and so on, the specific coffee produced in specific countries, producing areas and estates is called "single coffee". Because each country or different region has its own climate, soil and natural environment, the coffee grown has its own characteristics. By tasting 'individual coffee', you can understand the characteristics and flavor of coffee in a country or region.

"mixed coffee" refers to coffee beans mixed with several types of single coffee, which can be compared to a coffee concerto. Such as Huangding's Blue Coffee, Duck Coffee, Capri Coffee and so on. The blending method of integrated coffee can be very simple (such as the traditional "Mamba": Mantenin plus Brazil), or it can be a complex art. Through proper blending, individual coffee with different characteristics can be composed of more harmonious and wonderful movements. Usually the beans used in espresso (espresso, latte, cappuccino) are mixed coffee.
