Produced by the Tekangu cooperative in Nyeri County, Kenya, this coffee is grown at an elevation of 1,600 to 1,800 meters. The beans are a mix of SL 28, SL 34, Batian, and Riuru 11 varieties. Processed using the washed method, the coffee is fermented in tanks overnight and sun-dried on raised tables. This coffee offers a complex, juicy, and winey flavor profile with notes of blackberry and citrus, characterized by a full body and a sweet finish.
Founded in 1986 by Oren Bloostein, Oren's Coffee pioneered specialty coffee in New York City as the original roaster championing direct sourcing and in store roasting before these practices became industry standards. The roasting facility in Jersey City operates with an ethos of uncompromising freshness through the Freshness 24 Guarantee, ensuring all beans are roasted within 24 hours before delivery. Oren's at Origin program emerged from a philosophy of traveling globally to purchase directly from farmers, building long term relationships rather than relying solely on brokers. This dedication to origin connection and craft earned Oren's the first ever Roaster's Choice Award from the Roaster's Guild of America.
