January update from Oval Coffee Roasters: Earth Fare launch across the Southeast, NYC retail expansion, corporate gifting, and a new coffee education series focused on helping more people understand specialty coffee without overcomplicating it.
Now at Earth Fare Markets
Oval Coffee Roasters is now available at Earth Fare Markets across the Southeast, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia.
The launch brings Oval’s three core coffee profiles into a broader retail setting: Women-Grown coffee, Natural Process coffee, and Half Caff coffee.
Around New York City
Closer to home, Oval continues to grow across New York City. You can now find us at Dumbo Market, Mulberry Market, LifeThyme Market, and Met Fresh, among other neighborhood retailers.
Oval roasts in New York City and is built for the way people actually shop, brew, host, work, and move through the city: frequent grocery runs, office pantries, hospitality moments, gifting, travel, and coffee that can be brewed at home or with only hot water and a mug.
Corporate gifting with Goody
The holiday season introduced Oval to a different kind of corporate gifting through Goody, one that feels thoughtful rather than transactional.
For direct gifting, Oval offers whole bean coffee, Pour Over Single Serves, variety packs, and coffee gifts that work for employees, clients, hosts, events, and office teams.
Top coffee questions: a new education series
After years of pop-ups, tastings, retail demos, and hospitality service, we noticed the same coffee questions coming up again and again. We’re answering them simply, honestly, and without jargon.
Short answer: there isn’t one. Espresso is a brewing method, not a different type of bean.
Any coffee can be brewed as espresso, including light roast coffee and light-to-medium roast coffee. What matters most is freshness, rest time, grind, dose, water, pressure, and recipe.
More questions are coming soon, including grind size, sour versus bitter flavors, caffeine, Half Caff coffee, and the easiest ways to upgrade your morning routine.
Featured coffee: The Natural
The Natural is Oval’s sun-dried natural process coffee, roasted light to medium in New York City. It is built for fruit-forward aroma, layered sweetness, and a clear cup profile across whole bean coffee and Pour Over Single Serves.
