Specialty coffee, organized by where it grows
Specialty coffee · Mapped by origin
Single origins and blends from Central America, South America, Africa and Indonesia. Every bag tells you where it grew, how it tastes and how to brew it.
The coffee belt
Nearly all coffee grows in a band around the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Scroll to spin the globe, and hover or tap a pin to see what grows there.
01 · Central America
Coffee here grows high on volcanic mountainsides, where cool nights slow the cherries down and build sweetness. Expect balanced, sweet cups with milk chocolate, caramel and a clean citrus finish.
02 · South America
From Colombia's Huila to the Peruvian Andes, coffee grows on steep ridges with steady rain. The cups are round and comforting: chocolate, nuts, red apple and brown sugar.
03 · Africa
Coffee's wild ancestors still grow in Ethiopia's forests. Small family plots high in the hills give Yirgacheffe its famous florals, stone fruit and citrus.
04 · Indonesia & Asia-Pacific
Sumatra's highland farms use a local wet-hulling method that gives the coffee its deep, earthy body. Think cedar, spice and dark chocolate, with very little acidity.
