Specialty coffee · Mapped by origin

Coffee, mapped by where it grows.

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

Take a trip around 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

Volcanic slopes, cool nights

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.

  • Countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras
  • Grown at: about 1,300–2,000 m
Shop Central America

02 · South America

The Andes, ridge by ridge

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.

  • Countries: Colombia, Peru, Brazil
  • Our Huila lot: 1,500–1,600 m
Shop South America

03 · Africa

Where coffee began

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.

  • Countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda
  • Our Kochere lot: 1,800–2,100 m
Shop Africa

04 · Indonesia & Asia-Pacific

Islands of earth and spice

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.

  • Islands: Sumatra, Java, Papua New Guinea
  • Process: wet-hulled
