Origin

The world’s largest coffee producer, Brazil has huge influence in the global coffee market. Although producing more than a third of the world’s coffee, the growing conditions here can be challenging; producers not only have to manage the lower-than-optimal altitudes and non-volcanic soils, but also extreme climate conditions, from drought, to frost. Typically low in acidity, sweet, and heavy-bodied, Brazillian coffee is often easily distinguished and well-loved thanks to its approachable, desirable notes of chocolate and nuts.

“Stronghold is what I would describe as a classic espresso coffee. Bold and rich, with a real syrupy body that tastes great black or with milk. It’s roasted slightly darker too, delivering a more traditional flavour. A great starting point for brewing speciality coffee at home."

    Excellent coffee!

    This coffee was my first from Origin and I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent coffee, perfect for cappuccinos and flat whites. This is the first as part of my rotating subscription so I’m already looking forward to the next coffee arriving!

    So good!

    Love these coffee beans! I found it super easy to dial these in on my very hard working sage barista express machine. The espresso is rich and chocolatey so it feels like a real treat when I make my coffee at home. Delivery is quick

    Our favourite

    We really enjoy coffee and have tried many varieties and different companies, but always feel that the best coffee is the one we make at home with our Origin beans!
