According to the annotation on original flavor coffee from Baidu Baike: Original flavor coffee refers to single-origin coffee. In contrast, classic coffee refers to blended coffee.

Using original flavor coffee to make coffee beverages, being single-origin allows for highlighting the characteristics of coffee beans from different regions.

In the old days, single-origin coffee was synonymous with black coffee.

Black Coffee is simply coffee without added milk, sugar, syrup, or similar additives. The Cantonese "jaai fe" and the Shanghai elite's "qing ka" both refer to this concept.

Perhaps because coffee in the old days was difficult to swallow without some sugar and milk, the definition of single-origin coffee was later extended. When served, it remained a cup of black coffee, accompanied by sugar and milk for customers to add themselves. So what is single-origin coffee? Single Origin Coffee is coffee made from single coffee beans produced in their place of origin. Generally, single-origin coffee is named after its country of origin, growing region, or estate.

So-called single-origin coffee refers to coffee made from single coffee beans produced in their place of origin. It can be seen that whether a cup of coffee is considered single-origin depends on the ingredients. If it's made from single coffee beans produced in their place of origin, regardless of the brewing method used, it can be called single-origin coffee. However, the most common brewing methods for single-origin coffee include pour-over, French press, and siphon.

Therefore, original flavor coffee = single-origin coffee ≤ black coffee.
