Tanat

At Tanat, we believe that every cup of coffee tells a story—one of unique terroirs, craftsmanship, and an unwavering passion for excellence. Our mission is to bring this story to life through specialty coffees, roasted with precision and respect.

ARTISANAL AND METICULOUSLY CONTROLLED ROASTING

Since Tanat opened, we have decided to focus on coffee roasting. Our motto is to offer the best roast with the highest level of consistency.

What does a successful roast mean to Tanat? It’s one that will awaken your taste buds and bring out the best in the coffee’s origin. Every coffee has its own story, and we bear the heavy responsibility of not only highlighting the work of our producers but also making it easier for you to brew it.

AT THE SOURCE: EXCEPTIONAL TERROIRS

We source our coffee directly from the origin, working closely with farms, producers, and cooperatives that we have known—often for several years.
Each origin is chosen for the uniqueness of its terroir, the expertise in post-harvest processing, and the philosophy of those who grow it.

This direct relationship allows us to work with small, carefully selected batches that are fully traceable from start to finish, with a consistency of quality that only trust can guarantee.
Beyond taste, it is also a way to encourage responsible farming practices that respect ecosystems and the people who sustain them.

INNOVATE, WITHOUT EVER COMPROMISING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST

At Tanat, innovation goes hand in hand with responsibility.
We optimize every step of our supply chain—sourcing, roasting, and logistics—to reduce our environmental impact. This involves making concrete choices: coffee sourced from sustainable farming practices, lighter packaging, streamlined transportation, and mindful consumption.

Above all, a simple yet fundamental commitment: we will never use pods.
Neither practical nor 100% recyclable, they are the antithesis of our vision for coffee.
We champion coffee that is vibrant, carefully brewed, and respectful of what it stands for—in terms of taste, for the farmers, and for the planet.

Ngacha Estate

Grown at Ngacha Estate in the Kirinyaga highlands, this batch combines two iconic Kenyan varieties, SL28 and SL34, with a Yellow Honey process that allows more matter and sugars from the mucilage to accompany the drying.

Ngacha Estate is a family farm whose history began in 1954. Today, Martin Muriuki, the second generation, continues his father's work by developing Kenyan reference varieties and experimenting with different post-harvest treatments.

In the cup, the profile is particularly interesting because it doesn't overdo the fruit. The cup begins with redcurrant, with that sensation of a small, bright, and tart red berry. Kumquat then takes over, bringing a more delicate, almost zesty citrus note. Finally, the yellow peach arrives, juicy and sweet. The cup as a whole is balanced and elegant.
