One Farm Beans
Our One Farm Beans (sometimes called “Single Farm” or “Estate Coffee”) are sourced from a single farm (vice region) and are high quality coffee beans with a distinctive flavor profile. When coffee is harvested and processed on such a small scale, costs increase and so the sale price also has to rise to cover these costs. For that reason, Mark has hand selected these specific farms to ensure you get the smoothest cup of coffee at a competitive price.
Sold in 12oz bags.
