"Why single origin? Blends certainly have their place, as do flavored cups (I did love the fall lineup from Bones Coffee Co.), but brewing beans grown in a single location really lets you get a fuller sense of their character. You'll find lots of wild tasting notes in single-origin coffees because the beans aren't diluted with those from another terrain."
"I love bright, light-roasted coffees that boast ample fruity and floral notes. The best coffee I ever tried tasted like a blueberry tea. My own preferences will come into play when ranking the following, but I'll also take into account more objective views of the brew, considering which tasting notes come through and how each stacks up to other single-origin beans I've had from the country (where applicable)."
A coffee enthusiast's interest began as a side job at a Northern Virginia cafe and deepened through barista training that revealed wide variation among coffees. The focus is on single-origin beans because they showcase fuller, undiluted regional character and often display wild tasting notes. The taster prefers bright, light-roasted coffees with fruity and floral notes and evaluates La Colombe's single-origin line using pour-over brewing. Rankings combine personal palate preferences with objective assessment of tasting notes and comparisons to other single-origin beans from the same countries. Some recommendations rely on firsthand impressions and manufacturer-provided promotional materials or products.
