Oren's Daily Roast

NEW YORK, NY - As some of you have heard, Oren’s Daily Roast will open a new store in the Financial District of New York City.

“This will be our first store in the Financial District. The lease has been signed, and we’ll start construction shortly. We hope to open sometime in late Spring. I’m excited about finally being able to serve customers in Lower Manhattan.” – Oren Bloostein.

Oren’s Daily Roast’s new store will serve the Finanical District at 135 William Street (Corner of Fulton Street). Opening in May of 2013.

BURUNDI KAYANZA GATARE
NEW CROP
AN OREN’S AT ORIGIN COFFEE

This coffee is the result of over 7 years of work by our friendly importer with whom we have worked closely to help develop and support the farmers in this area to produce truly exceptional coffee.

We went ourselves to see the area in 2007 at the outset of the project. Subsequent trips by the importer and frequent cupping of the coffee myself helped steer the producers towards better methods and preparation. We purchased our first shipment of coffee from this region of Burundi in 2009.

Farmers in this region of Burundi grow Bourbon coffee varietals which yield a lighter, more citrusy coffee. It’s grown at 6,000 ft. above sea level — perfect elevation for fine coffee! 3,500 individual farmers contribute to this mill in the northwestern part of Burundi near the border of Rwanda.

Sweet fruit fragrance, full creamy body, and depth make this the best Burundi we have had in 4 years.

$ 16.99 / LB.

We’ve been serving the NYU community for almost 20 years from our tiny store on 31 Waverly Place. Today we’re excited to announce that we are building a brand new store next door to our existing store.

When we are finished this April, we will move into this totally new store double the size of our current one! We will have more of everything to better serve our good customers from NYU and the neighborhood.

I hope I am one of many to be wishing you a very happy New Year from myself and from everyone here at Oren’s Daily Roast.

This has been a stormy year quite literally, and one in which we have honed our disaster plans to keep our customers supplied with our fresh coffee. I think a local store like ours lends a sense of normalcy to any situation and so I always endeavor to be open for our customers and our neighbors.

This has also been a very challenging year in which to find those really fine quality coffees that are our reason for being. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the high prices of the last couple of years have negatively impacted the coffee quality as many farmers opt to not do all the work necessary to produce the top quality since they are getting a high price no matter what. We still bring you the best, it is just much harder for us to find them for you.

On the bright side, we will be opening two new stores in the first part of the new year – one on William Street in the financial district and a new store on Waverly to replace our tiny store there of 20 years! Looking forward to our 27th Anniversary this February! Again, from all of us, a very happy and healthy New Year to you all!

From Medical Daily:

Coffee is one of the most widely drank beverages in the world. Though most people who consume coffee on a regular basis do so because it gives them a boost of caffeine and it tastes good, coffee has been proven to have a pretty diverse range of health benefits (though it does also have its drawbacks). So add another health benefit to the list: coffee may help lower the risk of developing oral and pharyngeal cancer and of dying from the disease…

OREN’S DAILY ROAST INTRODUCES:
Rare Coffee Gift Sampler

Just in time for the Holidays, Oren’s is pleased to introduce our new Rare Coffee Sampler, once again featuring our beloved combination of Jamaica Blue Mountain and Kona Estate.

Treat yourself to coffee at the luxury level with this new sampler that features 4 half-pound bags of our rare coffees: 2 half-pound bags of Jamaica Blue Mountain and 2 half-pound bags of Kona Estate Extra Fancy:

Our Jamaica Blue Mountain comes from RSW Estate. The ideal combination of high altitude, abundant rainfall and hot climate makes Jamaica home to one of the world’s finest and most perfectly balanced coffees. Our Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is balanced, with an ever so slightly tart acidity, good depth of flavor, long smooth clean finish, medium body, fresh, mildly sweet; an outstanding example of an outstanding coffee.

Cupping Notes: Balanced, slightly tart acidity, good flavor depth, long smooth clean finish, medium body, mildly sweet.

Kona is back! Actually a Pacific coffee, Kona hails from the exclusive Kona region on the western side of the Big Island of Hawaii. Tropical conditions, such as daily rain showers, hot days and cool, frost-free nights make Kona shine as one of the world’s great coffees. The complexity of this coffee is derived from the volcanic soil. We’ve been getting our Kona coffee from the same producer in Hawaii for more than 15 years. This lot of New Crop Kona was flown in last week.

Cupping Notes: Huge hyacinth fragrance, big buttery body, sweet tangy finish.

Oren’s Rare Coffee Sampler: $ 99.95 (Reg. $111.95)

Kona is back! Actually a Pacific coffee, Kona hails from the exclusive Kona region on the western side of the Big Island of Hawaii. Tropical conditions, such as daily rain showers, hot days and cool, frost-free nights make Kona shine as one of the world’s great coffees. Kona has a medium to full body, with a flowery aroma. The complexity of this coffee is derived from the volcanic soil.

We’ve been getting our Kona coffee from the same producer in Hawaii for more than 15 years. Oren carefully chooses from among many lots to select just the one that so perfectly represents what true Kona is supposed to be. Of course, each lot is cupped after its arrival as well to ensure quality. This lot of New Crop Kona that was flown in last week has a huge hyacinth fragrance and big buttery body with a sweet tangy finish.

Kona is a rare coffee because Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that grows coffee commercially. Don’t be fooled by sound-alike labels. Genuine Kona coffee is a rarity.

$ 49.99 / LB.

Guatemala Antigua Capetillo Peaberry

An Oren’s at Origin Selection

LIMTED TIME AVAILABILITY!
The Antigua coffee from the award winning farm Finca Capetillo is a great example of what Antigua coffee should be. We have worked with the farmer for the last 7 years, carefully scrutinizing, assessing, cupping, and purchasing this very fine coffee.We’re pleased to be able to bring you yet another great coffee from Finca Capetillo, Guatemala Antigua Peaberry. A rare treat this season, we only have a few bags available. This coffee was sorted from our lot of flat bean Antigua to leave only the round, single bean per cherry peaberry. Coming from the same trees as the flat bean, the Peaberry is similar in flavor, but a little brighter, zestier, and more distinct.
$ 18.99 / LB.
