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.
We didn’t change the blend too much for version 22. Instead of San Carlos, we’re using a community lot of Guatemalan coffee from farmers in Huehuetenango. This is the sweet and balanced base to the blend. To provide some sweetness and acidity highlights, we’re again using the washed coffee from Gedeb, Ethiopia. It is sourced through another long-time partner, Moplaco, in Ethiopia. It is a collection of small farms that is washed and prepared at the Mijane Werasa washing station, and then polished, sorted, and prepped for experts by the amazing team at Moplaco.
