Single-origin coffee is coffee grown within a single known geographic origin.
Single-origins can offer unique characteristics and specific tastes when compared to blended coffees from multiple origins.[1] Some independent coffee shops have found that using single-origin coffee beans instead of a blend of beans gives them a way to add value over large chains, as the implications of single-origin suggests better quality, which is often true.[2] Consumers of specialty coffee are often attracted to single-origin coffee for the transparency it offers.[3]
There are universal rules or governing body enforcing the labeling of coffee; however, there are governmental bodies in some countries that regulate the coffee market, for example in Brazil.[4]
