Why Single Origin

One bean. One farm.
One story at a time.

Blends hide flaws; single origins reveal character. Every lot is traceable to one region, farm or co-op — so you taste exactly where it grew, and the people who grew it are paid fairly for their craft.

Origins

The world in a coffee bean.

Origin is where coffee grows — one of the most important things about any cup. Explore the three belts, and the beans we draw from each.

The Roast

Coaxing flavour, not forcing it.

Our drum at Maxwell Road runs four times a week, keeping every bag within two weeks of roast. Three stages turn a green seed into the cup you love.

Whole coffee beans early in the roast
01

Drying

Moisture leaves the green bean over the first minutes — the foundation for an even roast.

Maillard

Sugars and amino acids brown together, building body, sweetness and aroma.

First Crack & Drop

The bean cracks audibly; we judge the exact second to drop for the profile we want.
