NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Oval Coffee Roasters, a new type of specialty coffee brand based in New York City, has launched nationally with KeHE Distributors, reaching more than 450 Sprouts Farmers Market locations across the United States. The rollout is part of Sprouts’ Spring Forager Innovation Set, which showcases emerging brands that bring craft and innovation to grocery. Oval’s whole-bean and single-serve pour-over varieties will further expand via KeHE’s July–August New@KeHE program, opening distribution to independent specialty and natural food retailers nationwide.

Oval offers whole bean and single-serve pour over formats—each roasted in New York City with care, sustainability, and bold flavor. Inspired by specialty coffee culture in East Asia, Oval’s single-use pour overs offer an elegant, low-commitment way to enjoy premium coffee—just add hot water. Each pour over features a biodegradable filter and is available individually or in a boxed set of eight.

“Friends kept bringing these delightful pour overs back from Japan and Taiwan,” said co-founder and head roaster Christopher Alspach. “We knew we could deliver that same joy here, with our own New York twist.”

Core Blends
• The Natural — fruit-forward and complex, naturally processed
• Bowling Green Blend — light and balanced, sourced from women-led farms
• Riverside Blend — half-caff with full-bodied flavor

With over 15,000 roasts and deep global sourcing experience, Oval co-founder Christopher Alspach previously co-founded Upper Left Roasters in Portland, Oregon. Co-founder Andrew Itzkowitz brings 20 years of national retail and foodservice experience, having worked with worldwide category-leading natural and specialty brands such as Bonne Maman and Yogi Tea, and more recently with venture-backed companies in the plant-based meat sector.

“Oval is about elevating everyday moments,” Alspach said. “With thoughtful packaging, exceptional blends, and a format people love, we’re excited to bring this experience to more people.”
