Getting some information before purchasing coffee beans will help you find the flavor you are looking for. Today, coffee companies add some identifying information to their coffee packages to identify the coffees they serve to us consumers. By looking at these descriptions, you can see some information about where the coffee you buy comes from, how it is processed and the aromas it contains. Coffee consumers’ search for quality coffee is increasing day by day. Naturally, producers have to respond to these searches of consumers in order not to lose their customers, to gain new customers and sell more coffee. Let’s take a look at the differences between Single Origin Coffee and Blend Coffee on the coffee packages and what they mean.
The Meaning of Single Origin Coffee and Blended Coffee
Coffee companies often specify on their packages whether their coffee consists of specific bean blends or is single-origin. In fact, this recipe tells us about the origin of the coffee beans you buy from the very beginning.
Blend Coffee
Blend Coffee is a blend of different coffee beans that create a specific flavor profile. What makes these blends popular on the market is that they create a consistent and distinctive flavor profile that is consistently achieved throughout the year. If you are wondering about the details of these coffee blends, it may be a little difficult to learn. Little information is shared about where these coffee beans come from and what types of coffee beans are used, as the proportions of the coffee blend used in the package are often kept a company secret. Of course, I keep private or boutique roasters separate from them. Because such boutique companies clearly indicate each component of a coffee blend on their coffee packages. He also adds to the description on the package how the individual characteristics and aromas of each coffee bean they use to complement and balance each other in harmony.
Single Origin Coffee
Single Origin Coffee is the only type of coffee produced from beans from a single country, farm, producer family, or cooperative. However, it should be noted that the origin of a coffee bean from a single country is not sufficient to define that coffee as a “Single Origin”. It may also come from a single country and be offered as a mix. So just because a coffee bean comes from Brazil, which is considered the current capital of coffee, doesn’t mean that coffee bean is perfect. Even if they come from a single region, they may taste different. The perfection sought in coffee is literally a process consisting of many stages.
The coffees we call “Single Origin” are usually seasonal and produced in limited numbers. It is almost impossible to reach these coffees every day of the year. You can find it in the market as long as the coffee production and the flavor it provides to us continues.
