BLENDED COFFEE VS. SINGLE PLANTATION COFFEE
It is a matter of personal preference whether blended coffee is preferred to single plantation coffee. Each has its own unique characteristics and benefits.
Blended coffee is made by combining beans from different regions, varieties and sometimes different roast levels. This can create a more complex flavor profile and can balance out defects or variations in the beans. Blended coffee can also be more consistent in flavor than single plantation coffee, which can vary depending on the harvest and processing.
Single-origin coffee, on the other hand, is made from beans grown on a single farm, or from a single region or country. These coffees are often prized for their unique flavor characteristics, which are a result of the specific terroir, farming practices, and varietals. Single-origin coffee can also be considered more "transparent" in terms of its origin and the story behind it, allowing the consumer to learn more about the coffee's history, the farmer and the region.
Ultimately, it is a matter of personal preference and what you are looking for in a cup of coffee. Some people may prefer the complexity and balance that blended coffee can offer, while others may prefer the unique and distinct flavor characteristics of single-origin coffee.
