Single-origin beans usually come from coffee beans from a single region and estate. Single-origin beans usually have their own characteristic aroma and taste, which is often referred to as the flavor of the origin. When single-origin beans are made into espresso, it will have another name: SOE.
SOE is the abbreviation of Single Origin Espresso, which means single-origin espresso. Everyone drinks a lot of single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee, and different production areas have their own unique styles. Just like the bright acidity of African coffee beans, sour-loving people can't help themselves.
Traditionally, espresso uses a blend of darker roasted coffee beans, and the taste is mostly mellow, burnt, and rich. Well, for SOE, we combine single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee with espresso, which has the unique aroma of the production area and a very concentrated flavor.
