Orinoco Organic Fair Trade Mocha Java Coffee | Medium Roast

Mocha Java is the world's oldest coffee blend — a combination of Yemeni Mocha beans (earthy, wine-like, deeply complex) and Indonesian Java beans (heavy-bodied, clean, chocolatey), traditionally drunk together since the 17th century when Dutch traders first connected the two producing regions. Orinoco brings this timeless classic into the modern era: Certified Organic and Fair Trade, medium-roasted to balance the brightness of the African-origin notes with the deep earthiness of the Indonesian. A harmonious, complex, and deeply satisfying cup.

Orinoco Coffee & Tea has been producing and selling the finest coffees since 1909. Founded by great-grandfather Leonardo Alarcon in southwest Venezuela, the company has traveled with the family — through Venezuela, north, and east to the Atlantic seaboard — across four generations of growers, exporters, importers, and roasters. Headquartered in Jessup, Maryland, Orinoco custom roasts daily using state-of-the-art equipment, sourcing beans from the finest producing regions in the world. A proud roasting legacy spanning over 115 years.
