The Single-Origin Purist
Perfection with a paper trail. One grove's oil, one farm's eggs, one maker's knife — the fewer the things, the longer their backstories.

Taste capital
WorkingMiddleBourgeoisie
Taste as a discipline. You know the producer, the vintage, and the correct opinion — lovingly insufferable.
Taste capital tier: BourgeoisieThe spread — six cards, one life
foodYou read menus back to front. The main course is an opening act.
musicOne voice, one instrument, no production. You listen in candlelight.

booksYou reread. A familiar book is a furnished room in a chaotic world.

The philosophers weigh in
One grove's oil, one farm's eggs — you have made simplicity so expensive that it has become its opposite. The peasant you are imitating could not afford to eat at your table.
Single-origin everything: scarcity as virtue, restraint as the loudest possible signal. The ascetic aesthetic is the aristocracy of taste — appearing to want less while acquiring the hardest things to get.
