Are you a coffee lover who is always on the hunt for unique and high-quality coffee experiences? Do you want to learn more about the journey of single origin coffee from the farm to the cup? If so, then keep reading to explore the bean-to-cup process of single origin coffee.

Single origin coffee has become increasingly popular in recent years. Consumers crave unique and high-quality coffee experiences. But what makes single origin coffee so special? The answer lies in the journey that the coffee takes from the farm to the cup.

First, let's start with coffee farming. Single origin coffee is produced from a single farm or region, giving it a unique flavour profile that reflects its terroir. Coffee farming involves a series of steps, including planting, growing, and harvesting the coffee cherries.

Next, the coffee cherries are processed using one of three methods: washed, natural, or honey. Each method has a unique impact on the coffee's flavour profile, creating a distinct taste experience.

Ritual roasts the coffee we source to bring out their unique flavour. Single origin coffee is often roasted to a specific level to highlight its unique characteristics. For us that means roasting within the light (city roast) to medium (full city plus) and never roasting too dark.

Finally, the coffee is brewed using various methods, such as pour-over or espresso. The brewing method can also have an impact on the flavour profile of the coffee, creating a one-of-a-kind taste experience.

But the journey of single origin coffee doesn't end there. Sustainability is a crucial part of the single origin coffee industry, with many farms using sustainable farming practices and participating in certification programs like Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance. Sourcing sustainable coffee is a foundational value of our roastery.
