Single-Origin Coffees

Paravisini Coffee Company specializes in single-origin coffees. You won’t find a major focus on blends here, because we hold a high regard to the distinct character of each and every coffee that we roast.
The coffee tree grows and produces fruit in many countries around the world. Coffee is a very finicky plant­­­, requiring an even rainfall throughout the year, and a consistently mild temperature around 68-72°F degrees. This ideal climate can be found all over the world, centered around the equator.
Because of the vast differences in regions such as varying soil, rainfall, elevation, pests as well as human-added variations such as harvesting, processing, storage, and shipment, each region will display a very distinguishing characteristic compared with other regions.
Although blending coffees can create some interesting flavors, that is typically not the primary motivation. One is customer stability, and the other is product stability. Customer stability means that after the roaster creates a signature blend, if you happen to like it, there is only one company you can get it from, which is good for the roaster but not good for you! The second reason is product stability. Coffee is a seasonal item. That means that certain coffees are more likely to run out at certain times of the year. For a roaster who spends their time with blends, its easy to swap out the 10% you had of one coffee, with another, similar profile coffee, and no one will notice the difference. The real world of coffee is more sporadic and exciting. The 2007 Nicaraguan might taste totally different than the 2006 crop did, or the Brazil frost might hit, rendering the small remaining coffees available to the highest paying roasters. If we are out of a particular coffee that you are used to, tell us and we will be more than happy to find you a similar profiled coffee. You might even find a new favorite!
Every taste bud is as unique as the coffees themselves. Likewise, it is important for us to educate you on the subtleties of different coffees, to find the perfect match between coffee and drinker. Someone who is fond of a classic, bold, balanced Colombian might find the exotic flavors in a Sulawesi unpleasant. Likewise, someone who enjoys the “winey”, fruity tones in a Kenya, might have a dislike for the nuttier island coffees such as Hawaii’s Kona (and you might have a hard time with the price!). Our goal is to match the right consumers with the right coffees so that your experience can be unmatched. Always feel free to converse with your roaster. Describing tastes is a difficult task, but if you are able to compare likes and dislikes in specific regions, your roaster will be able to point you in the right directions.
