Tigerwalk Espresso

Tigerwalk Espresso is built around a coffee grown by members of Cooperativa de Caficultores del Cauca in partnership with the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (FNC), an organization that promotes the production and exportation of Colombian coffee. Located in Southwest Colombia, Cauca coffee is known for its smooth chocolate-toned flavors which act as the foundation of this espresso blend.

We then add a fully washed coffee from Kenya that adds elements of brightness and fruit flavors. Kenya’s system is one of the best in the world for compensating high quality lots; after tasting the coffees, registered buyers compete at auctions where the best lots fetch higher prices. These
auctions are small, so our partners must purchase many lots of similar quality and blend them together through a complex grading system to create the flavor profile we need for our blend.

Finally, a natural processed coffee grown in the Bombe Mountains of Southern Ethiopia rounds out the blend. Bombe’s high altitude stresses the coffee tree, and the colder climate slows the growth cycle. The result is a slowly matured cherry that is small, dense, and packed with flavor. After harvesting, natural processed coffee is dried with the coffee cherry fully intact, imparting distinct fruit-forward flavors into the coffee. Together, these three coffees create a well-balanced, creamy espresso with a broad range of delicate fruit flavors.

We treasure our relationships in the global coffee community and invest in projects at origin to support our partners in their commitment to environmental sustainability and social welfare. We also invest in reducing our day-to-day impact, through initiatives like energy-efficient Loring Smart Roasters to reduce carbon emissions per batch by 80%.
