The Producer
Origin Espresso is our rotating single-origin espresso. Rather than changing coffees constantly, we move seasonally between two producers in Peru and Colombia as fresh harvests arrive. It keeps the coffee feeling exciting and expressive while still giving the espresso a sense of familiarity throughout the year, while allowing us to continue building long-term relationships with the producers behind it.
What I love about Origin Espresso is that it never feels static. Because it moves with the harvests, each new coffee brings something slightly different to the espresso while still feeling familiar to us as a roastery. It keeps things exciting without chasing novelty for the sake of it, and I think that balance says a lot about how we approach coffee at Ritual.
We wanted to make an espresso coffee that had the same exceptional flavour and reliability but by only using one regions coffee. Then came Origin Espresso. This coffee changes infrequently between Colombia and Peru.
