At the time, it was simply an opportunity to engage with someone passionate about coffee, who wanted to learn more about sourcing, roasting, and tasting. As conversation continued, it was clear that Kris puts the same level of passion he has on ice into other parts of his life, including coffee. We were honored to work with him to create this blend that gives back to the coffee community and our partners at origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProceeds from Tanger Blend benefit Beneficio, a nonprofit founded by members of importer\/exporter \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ositocoffee.com\/\"\u003eOsito Coffee\u003c\/a\u003e. Beneficio was founded on Osito’s desire to make a bigger and longer lasting impact on the lives of people in the communities in which they work.

These descriptors often apply to coffees from across Central America. As such, that is where our initial search for blend components started. When we held a tasting with Kris to learn more about his coffee preferences, we found that he was very fond of Mexican coffees we had to sample from Chiapas and Oaxaca. We toyed around with combinations of blends and he loved the synergy between the soft, silky and chocolatey Mexican profiles and the clean, bright and fruity profiles of East African coffees. Together we found a blend profile that was sweet, nutty and had deep, rich flavors of dates and other dried fruits, sweet baking spices and chocolate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs this blend changes and evolves over the next year, expect elite play from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eour\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Big 3: Mexico, Burundi and Ethiopia.
