You might wonder what is so special about single-origin coffee that our farmers take so much care of, let's talk about it!

The Benefits of Single-Origin Coffee

1. Unique Flavor

Single-origin coffee is known to be cultivated in unique regions of the world and requires a unique kind of attention and care. Coffee on this type of plantation has a richer flavor. Our Puerto Rican single-origin coffee from Hacienda Illuminada has a unique taste with notes of dark chocolate, citrus, and butter as it is farmed 3,000 feet above sea level. Afterward, this special coffee can be tasted in our 787 Coffee shops

2. Transparency

As humans, we love to know everything about the food we eat or what we drink. One of the most amazing things about single origin coffee is that you can tell a story of where it is grown and how taken care of! Every bag we offer at our 787 Coffee shop shows where our coffee is grown, with exact coordinates and story so it can be traced back to the farm so you can be informed of where your coffee comes from.

3. Support for Our Farmers

We wouldn't be able to enjoy our morning coffee without our amazing coffee farmers, who are the most important humans for our coffee farm! Our farmers are passionate and committed humans who work hard to make sure that our coffee grows properly, gets the right amount of water, and is protected from major climate changes to prevent damage to the plantation. Fairtrade practices are important to Hacienda Iluminada because we want our farmers to be paid fairly for their hard work. To honor each farmer's labor, we also designed our coffee e-bags with unique handprints

4. High quality coffee

Compared to commercial coffees, single-origin coffee must goes through stricter quality control processes. Every coffee at 787 Coffee is carefully hand picked, processed, and roasted by human hands like in this case, Wandaat Hacienda Iluminada. She makes sure that the coffee is roasted and princess with care so it doesn’t lose its delicious taste!

5. Single-origin coffee is eco-friendly
