About Mokha Java of Ethiopia
Coffee originated in Arabia and was first sold through the port of 'Mokha' (Al Mukha) in Yemen, hence the first part of the name of this blend. The 'Mokha' in this blend is a naturally-processed Ethiopian coffee, adding notes of dried fruit - think red wine - and a nice plush body. Coffee was then cultivated in Indonesia and shipped out through the island of 'Java' (Jawa). The 'Java' in this blend is an Indonesian coffee, specifically from Bali, which gives deeper notes of clove and dark chocolate.
The result is a marriage between the brightness of African coffees and the depth of Indonesian ones - in the cup it is a complex and balanced coffee.

"Raisin, dates, dried fig, fruit leather. I always love a good take on the classic Mokha Java. Nice fruit, but never dominating, making it great for many experience levels of coffee lovers."
Noble Coffee Roasting
Eight-time Good Food Award winner (and ten-time finalist) Noble Coffee Roasting began, as many successful roasting companies do, in the garage of husband-wife team Jared and Carolyn Rennie, way back in 2007. Named after Jared's grandfather, Noble Duke, within two years Noble Coffee had moved to its current roastery/café location just off 4th street in the quirky, charming town of Ashland Oregon.
"We believe that amazing coffee starts by sourcing the highest quality green coffees from organic farms and cooperatives, continues in the crafting of coffees with great attention upon roasting, and ends in the fine details of brewing. We are fully devoted to this process."
