ABOUT

12 Origins — Ethiopia postcard illustration
— OUR STORY —

We started 12 Origins because good coffee deserves to be understood.

Every bag comes from somewhere specific — a region, a farm, sometimes a single family who've been growing coffee for generations. We think that's worth knowing, not hiding behind a generic blend.

— WHY WE EXIST

The problem with "just a coffee subscription".

Most coffee subscriptions send you a rotating cast of coffees without giving you much reason to care about where they came from. You might get a new bag every month, but the story often stops at the brand name and a tasting note.

We wanted something else.

A subscription that actually takes you somewhere. One new origin at a time. One cup at a time.

— WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING

More than a bag of coffee.

Each month, we source a single-origin coffee from one of the origins in our collection — roasted to order in Sydney and never sitting on a warehouse shelf. Alongside it comes the story behind the coffee, and there's something physical to keep — a postcard from the origin, stamped as part of your growing collection.

12 Origins is where the journey begins, not where it ends.

We're always looking for the next origin worth bringing to you. New producers, new regions and new coffees are constantly being discovered — there should always be another place to discover.

— WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

Our values.

Traceability

We tell you what we actually know about each coffee — the region, the process and, where available, the producer. We won't claim "direct trade" or make sourcing promises we can't substantiate.

Freshness

Coffee is a fresh product. Every bag is roasted to order rather than sitting in a warehouse waiting to be shipped.

Freedom

Stay because you want to. Pause, skip or cancel whenever it suits you.

Curiosity

We think coffee is more interesting when you know where it came from.
