Origin Story

Multiple producers (Kenya)
Kayon Mountain (Ethiopia)

Presenting the latest edition of our seasonally evolving espresso blend, Eye of the Tiger. This iteration is built around a coffee produced by smallholder farmers in Kenya. Kenya’s system is one of the best in the world for compensating high quality lots; after tasting the coffees, registered buyers compete at auction where the best lots fetch higher prices.

We then added a natural processed coffee from Kanyon Mountain Estate in Ethiopia. Together these two East African coffees make a unique and fruit-forward espresso blend.

Why We Love This Coffee

For those unfamiliar with the Eye of the Tiger concept, we do not attempt to maintain a fixed flavor profile for this blend, as we do with our year-round espresso blends. Instead, we work with in-season coffees to develop a blend that shows off the flavors of the component coffees in ways. Eye of the Tiger is the espresso served at our Oakland and Proof Lab cafe locations.

This version’s component coffees culminate in an espresso that can be enjoyed on its own as well as in milk-based drinks. We will roast this version of Eye of the Tiger only as long as the blend components last.

While there are many variables that contribute to dialing in espresso, here are the parameters that have been yielding the best results in our lab:

1:2.2 coffee to water ratio in 25-27 seconds.
