How We Do It
​
​
Single Origin and Blends
​
Or mission is quite simply to seek out single origin coffees with a unique flavour profile that will suit all tastes and create a consistent quality experience.
We strive to find hidden gems that allow us to develop unique profiled coffees in both single origin and blended coffees.
It is an art to find single origin coffees that will stand alone in all coffee formats as the coffee has to work in all speciality coffee beverages.
When we find quality coffee that has a beautiful flavour but does not stand alone, we blend some collectively to create a balanced punchy blend of distinction.

As a Craft company we are motivated to challenge the norm and we constantly seek out single origin coffees from across the coffee belt to bring some unique flavours and coffees to the Irish Market.
