Awaken Coffee Roasting

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the Ibonia Estate in the Kiambu region of Kenya, situated at an altitude of 1700 meters. Managed by the family of "Sir" Charles Njonjo, the estate focuses on high-quality production while preserving local ecosystems. This fully washed AA lot features the SL28 and SL34 varieties. The cup profile is complex and vibrant, characterized by tasting notes of red currant, passion fruit, and grapefruit, reflecting the bright, citrusy, and wine-like qualities typical of high-altitude Kenyan coffees grown in fertile volcanic soil.

Awaken Coffee Roasting

Ádám Dobos founded Awaken Coffee Roasting in 2016 in Tata, a small town halfway between Budapest and Győr, making it one of Hungary's first dedicated specialty coffee roasters. He launched the roastery with mentorship from Patrik Rolf Karlsson, the Brewers Cup World Championship finalist and founder of Copenhagen's April Coffee, who traveled to Hungary to help set up the operation. Awaken works exclusively with coffees scoring at least 84 points on the SCA's 100 point scale, organizing its range into five categories that progress from approachable classics through to limited edition nanolots from rare varieties and experimental processing methods. The roastery's sustainability commitment is built around long term partnerships with the same farms and processing stations year after year, with a stated goal of eventually sourcing directly from producers as the business grows. Dobos also offers fully biodegradable Nespresso compatible capsules and dried cascara alongside whole bean espresso and filter roasts, broadening access to specialty coffee for customers across Hungary and beyond.
