You can tell a lot about a coffee if you know where it’s from.

Every bean has a distinctive flavour that comes from its land of origin. Just like with wine, it’s the goût de terroir – “the taste of the place.” 

The coffees from this side of the planet are big and bold, adventurous and assertive. They tend to be full-bodied, dense with flavours of herbs and earth, and satisfyingly smooth or syrupy in the finish. They are what we think of when we’re asked to name a “coffee drinker’s coffee” – in fact, our baristas most often pick an Asia/Pacific coffee as their personal favourite.
