At Origin, a coffee encounters patterns of change. These changes occur in the environment the coffee-plant is surrounded by and embedded within, and the coalescence of these rhythms impart flavor onto a coffee. While it may be true that coffee tastes like “coffee”, Kaffae notices that there are also flavors in a cup of coffee besides the general taste of “coffee”. By taste we speak not only of the sense of taste which culminates in the perception of Flavor but also to aesthetics, that is to say, to Beauty. It was through experiencing the taste of the different and subtle flavors in coffee that Kaffae began to perceive how beautiful coffees are. Localis is a nod to the beauty that characterizes the worlds we are surrounded by and embedded within. In this way, the flavors of coffee signal the relationship between two localities: one end being the locality where a cup of coffee is consumed while the first end is the locality where the seeds to make that cup of coffee were grown.
