What Is Single Origin Coffee?
Single origin coffee refers to coffee beans that are sourced from one specific region, farm, or even lot. Unlike blends that combine beans from multiple locations, single origin coffees offer a pure, unaltered taste of the region they come from.
At Five Star Coffee, our single origin offerings—from Ethiopia Yirgacheffe to Tanzania Peaberry—showcase the unique characteristics of their origin with unmatched flavor clarity.
Why Does Origin Matter?
The terroir (environmental factors like altitude, soil, and climate) plays a significant role in the flavor profile of coffee beans. For example:
-
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe often exhibits floral notes with bright citrus acidity.
-
Costa Rica Tarrazú delivers a well-rounded body with tropical fruit and chocolate tones.
-
Kenya AA is prized for its berry-like acidity and full body.
Each origin produces a unique flavor experience that coffee lovers can explore like wine.

How We Roast for Origin Clarity
At Five Star Coffee, we roast all of our single origin beans using our Artisan 3-e fluid bed roaster. Combined with our custom servo-controlled heat profiling system, we create the ideal roast for each origin—highlighting what makes it special.
This results in cleaner flavor, brighter acidity, and a more consistent cup.
