Single Origin Coffee – Without the Snobbery

At Modest Coffee we believe that great coffee should be accessible to everyone. We take the guesswork out of choosing a single origin coffee by carefully curating green coffees and applying them to one of our set tiers based on cupping score, price, flavor notes, and roast level. We work with small farmers and often purchase their entire crop. Once it sells out, we move on to another farm or region. Basically, our single origin coffee is always seasonally rotating. We select our favorites and roast them special for you!

Our Thoughts on Single Origin Coffee

single origin coffee

For us, single origin coffee is not an afterthought, it is all that we do. We love the amount of care it takes to create a cup of coffee. Every step of the supply chain requires exceptional attention to detail. In order to make something special, we feel it is important to highlight the care and effort it took to bring a single origin coffee to your cup.

We feel an obligation to do right by the producers and processors. We try to enhance the subtle nuances that make each region unique. So, whether you enjoy a fruit forward coffee or a clean floral coffee, rich roasted coffee or bright and vibrant coffee, we make it our mission to bring you the very best expression that each region offers. Similarly, we encourage you to try many different coffees. Each growing region is so unique and each season brings new flavors and experiences to enjoy.

Single origin coffee also is a pathway to increasing producer livelihoods, and contributes directly to higher incomes, regional development, and meaningful wealth generation. So we see this virtuous cycle of sustainability and flavor that makes a real impact on local economies, and we are so grateful to be a part of it. We hope you enjoy our coffee as much as we enjoy roasting it!
