Tigerwalk Espresso

Tigerwalk Espresso is built around a coffee produced by members of the Racafe Cooperative in the Cauca Department of Southwestern Colombia. This region is located just a stone's throw from the renowned Huila Department, famous for producing some of Colombia’s highest-quality coffees. As a result, the coffees from Cauca share similar qualities with those of Huila, offering rich flavors of dark cherry, ripe berries, and a full-bodied red wine profile. These deep, fruity tones form the foundation of the espresso blend.

To enhance this base, we add a fully washed coffee from Kenya, which adds flavors of citrus and a juicy acidity. Kenya’s coffee system is one of the best in the world for rewarding high-quality lots. After tasting, registered buyers participate in small auctions where the top lots fetch higher prices. Our partners often need to purchase multiple lots of similar quality and blend them together using a sophisticated grading system to achieve the desired flavor profile for our blend.

A natural processed coffee from the Bombe Mountains of Southern Ethiopia is the blend’s final touch. The high altitude and cooler climate of Bombe slows down the growth cycle of the coffee tree, producing small, dense cherries full of flavor. After harvesting, the cherries are dried intact, allowing the fruit to impart distinct fruit-forward flavors into the coffee. When combined, these three coffees create a well-balanced, creamy espresso with a wide 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%.
