Our Shop - Coffee - Single Origins

Much like wine, coffee is heavily influenced by where it is grown. The French term ‘terroir’ is used to describe the impact that geography and climate has on coffee — the ‘sense of place’ that translates through to our palate. Once you have mastered a technique to brew coffee consistently, you have immediate access to the exciting variety of flavours and characteristics emerging from coffees around the world. Historically, ‘Single Origin’ coffee is one which has been sourced from a particular country, or origin. However, as information spreads and our knowledge of the impact that ‘terroir’ has on the cup improves, we are now able to track down even more detailed information and provide you with coffees that are, in fact, Single Region or Single Estate coffees.

Here at Five Senses we’ve selected a range of these exciting and memorable Single Origin coffees for you to taste and experiment with. Feel free to browse through the descriptions and information we’ve provided on each and work your way through the unique flavours contained within. It’s an educational journey which should awaken your palate to the myriad possibilities secreted within your everyday coffee!

  • Filter Roast

    The best way to taste nuances in coffee is by brewing through a filter. Especially with single origins a filter brew provides you with many flavours from the tasting wheel that you just cannot achieve through espresso. To get the best out of a filter brew the coffee needs to be roasted lighter which allows a lot of the bright characters and subtle nuances that are usually not detected in an espresso style roast.

    The current Filter Roast on offer is our Ethiopian – Yirgacheffe.
