TEKTŌN SOURCING AND BLENDING
The seasonal and transparent coffee blend, Tektōn, chases a difficult goal – highlighting complexity while being approachable. Tektōn satisfies the novice or experienced coffee lover. Regular coffee changes throughout the year maintain balance and seasonality.
We commit ourselves to exhibiting the qualities of one of the most flavorful beverages in the world. To do so, we create and construct balanced, intoxicating, and special flavor experiences. Our single origin offerings are delicious and complete by themselves, but blending creates something new and unique. French wine and cocktails, like the Sazerac, guide us. By adding a small amount of five ingredients (sugar, bitters, lemon, absinthe, ice), a serving of whiskey becomes a new experience. This is a different, yet delicious, taste experience than that offered by any neat pour.
Tektōn, a seasonal coffee blend, compliments our single origin offerings. It matches the integrity of those offerings by remaining a seasonal coffee with a transparent supply chain. We embrace the future insight and taste experiences Tektōn will provide.
Our 24th iteration of Tektōn is a blend of two coffees. The first is a washed process coffee from the Chelchele Washing Station, located in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. Typically, a washing station in Ethiopia serves hundreds or thousands of smallholder farmers, and lots are blended from their collections. Coffees from the village of Chelchele are known for their sweetness and floral and citrus overtones, which are also noticeable in Tektōn. The second component of this blend is a washed process coffee from various smallholder farmers located in the Huehuetenango (pronounced way-way-ten-AN-go) region of Guatemala. Among Guatemala’s coffee-producing regions, Huehuetenango has some of the highest altitudes and develops the most complex flavors.
