Processing Method: Washed
Washed Coffees in Colombia are first de-pulped to remove the fruit from the seed. Some mucilage remains on the seed, and a 12 - 24 hour fermentation process is used next to remove the remaining coffee fruit. After the mucilage is removed, the coffee seeds are washed and then laid out to dry on raised beds for 10 days.

Deep Dive
For more than 150 years, Brazil has been responsible for roughly 30 percent of the world’s coffee production, about 74 percent of which is Arabica. The landscape is relatively flat, and due to high minimum wages, mechanical harvesting is prevalent. The use of harvesters is often combined with derriçadeiras—handheld machines that can be manually aimed at the ripest areas of the tree. The result is a form of mechanized selective picking that delivers high-quality Arabica coffee at an impressive scale.
Region: Various
Three Brazilian coffee regions are known for their distinct profiles and large production volumes. The most notable are Sul de Minas, Mogiana, and Espirito Santo. These regions range from rolling hills and uneven terrain to relatively flat land. Brazil is one of the only countries where it is possible to wake up at dawn, drive a few hours to a regional airport, take a two-hour flight, land, drive for another few hours, and never once lose sight of shimmering green rows of coffee as far as the eye can see.
Processing Method: Pulp-Natural
Most Brazilian coffees are processed using natural and pulp-natural methods, meaning the coffee is dried with all or a large portion of the fruit still on the bean. This process imparts sweet, fruity notes and produces a creamy body. Producers typically have farms that average 70 acres in size. Each producer cultivates and harvests their own cherries, then dries them on patios or mechanical driers to a precise moisture content of 11 percent. The coffee is carefully stored until milling and export, both of which take place at the dry mill, where traceability and quality control are meticulously managed so each producer can be paid according to the quality of their coffee.

The Kumbya Farm sits in the high mountains just northeast of Lake Kivu, located in the Western Province of Rwanda. The proximity to the lake creates the perfect environment for producing coffee; the fertile soil and cooler temperatures mean that producers do not need to rely on additional inputs for pest control or fertilization. This coupled with the pollination provided by native honeybees gives coffee from this region its unique terroir that includes both dried and fresh berries, tropical fruits, creaminess, and a complex sweetness.
Experience
The Kumbya is fruit-forward and balanced, opening with the juicy depth of ripe blackberry. As the cup cools, a lively kiwi brightness emerges, lifting the profile with a crisp, refreshing sparkle. A lingering finish of wildflower honey adds gentle florals and a silky sweetness that rounds everything out. An excellent pick for anyone who loves a vibrant, naturally processed coffee with layered fruit and a graceful, sweet finish.

The Western Province region of Rwanda lies on the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, separated by Lake Kivu. The small remote coffee-growing communities that are scattered among the highlands surrounding Lake Kivu benefit from the mild climate and plentiful rainfall.
Processing Method: Natural
Natural Processed coffees in Rwanda are harvested at peak ripeness, and then sorted using the water float method. Dense cherries sink in water, while under ripe and low quality ones float to the surface, ensuring only the best cherries are processed. The whole cherries are then laid our on raised beds to dry, and rotated regularly to ensure even drying. Once the cherries reach the desired moisture content, they are hulled, and ready for export.

We've spent nearly a decade growing alongside Damian Chavez and his family. When we first met, we were opening our Portola cafe, and Damian was just beginning his coffee journey. We both saw coffee as an art and a livelihood. Since then, we've watched his curiosity, craftsmanship, and confidence transform into some of our favorite coffees. This release marks our first Bourbon processed with Damian's anaerobic washed method—a technique he perfected with Parainema before bringing it to this variety. The result is rich, textured, and completely unique. Moments like this inspired Best Friends Club: a program built around long-term relationships, not transactions. Rather than focusing on the transactional aspect of the relationship, we want to be invested in their lives. So when you buy BFC coffee you are supporting a friend and partner of Cat & Cloud. Providing others with an amazing experience and new opportunities that lead to life-changing growth.
Experience
Damian's coffee is the perfect brew for sunny days. It's bright, comforting, and incredibly drinkable. It opens with orange creamsicle sweetness before layers of buttery pecan and sweet rhubarb bring balance and depth. The anaerobic process adds a silky texture that makes familiar flavors feel completely new, creating a coffee that's refreshing enough for warm afternoons yet complex enough to keep you coming back. It's perfect for guests wanting a bright and juicy coffee.

Honduras continues to redefine what's possible in specialty coffee, with producers consistently earning recognition on the world stage. This year for the 2026 US Barista competition, Santa Barbara, Honduras won first and second place and will be represented in the world stage in Panama. Santa Bárbara has become one of the country's most celebrated regions, and coffees from here continue to showcase the precision, innovation, and quality that have made Honduras one of the most exciting origins in coffee today.
Region: Santa Barbara
Damian grows Bourbon at El Quetzal and Parainema at El Plátano, two neighboring farms positioned along the edge of the national forest in Santa Barbara, Honduras. The farms face one of the biggest natural lakes in Honduras, which creates rich biodiversity in the area. The morning sun hitting the cherries from the east and the cooling winds from the north create ideal growing conditions, allowing the cherries to develop balanced sweetness, vibrant fruit, and the clarity that defines Damian's coffees.
Process: Anaerobic Washed
The cherries are harvested fully ripe before spending the night fermenting in a sealed, oxygen-free environment. This controlled fermentation builds sweetness, texture, and complexity without overpowering the coffee's character. After depulping and washing, the coffee undergoes a second fermentation to remove the remaining mucilage before drying on raised beds for about eight days. Throughout drying, Damian's wife Susana turns the coffee every few hours to ensure an even, consistent finish. The result is a clean, balanced cup with remarkable texture and precision.

Our relationship with the Trujillo family began four years ago with a Pink Bourbon from Carlos Trujillo. That coffee led us to his family property Patio Bonito, where we found more than an exceptional farm—we found people who share our values. Carlos has been in coffee for over 50 years and has now passed down his farm to his daughter Paola Trujillo. After years working as a cupper and green coffee buyer throughout Nariño and Huila, Paola returned home in 2022 with a vision to elevate washed coffee through science, precision, and thoughtful innovation. Alongside her parents, Carlos and Angela, she built Patio Bonito around three guiding principles: food security, soil stewardship, and exceptional coffee. Every decision reflects that commitment, from the way they care for the land to the way they process each harvest. Watching Paola blend curiosity, craftsmanship, and family has been inspiring, and it's why this relationship has grown into something far beyond buying coffee—it's a friendship built on trust, shared purpose, and a belief that great coffee starts with great people.
Experience
Paola's coffee is bright, juicy, and incredibly vibrant. Passion fruit leads the cup with lively sweetness, while subtle lime zest carries through every sip, adding lift and clarity. A delicate hibiscus finish rounds everything out with refreshing florals and sparkling acidity. Whether brewed as a pour over or espresso, this coffee is a beautiful expression of washed Colombian coffee. It is perfect for anyone looking for a bright and fruity coffee.

Deep Dive
Paola combines her background in science with years of experience evaluating coffee to continually refine both farming and processing. She cultivates twelve coffee varieties at Patio Bonito, and her coffees have appeared on competition stages around the world, earning recognition in both Brewers Cup and Barista Championships. Every harvest reflects her commitment to showing just how expressive washed coffee can be.
Region: Cauca
Cauca sits high in Colombia's Western Cordillera, stretching from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. This region benefits from the volcanic soils which are mineral-rich and feed the deep root system, enhancing the plant's nutrient uptake. The oceanic airflow slows cherry maturity, allowing sugars and acids to develop gradually. This results in a sweeter, more structured, and expressive coffee. Yet, this environment also presents challenges because the heavy rains influenced by both Pacific and Amazon weather patterns bring hailstorms, which can damage crops and thin yields. To combat that the Trujillo family has planted native trees and strengthened the coffee's root system. This benefits the structure of the plant but also allows for diverse soil nutrients.
Process: Washed
At Patio Bonito, washed coffee is treated with the same precision many producers reserve for experimental processing. Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness, depulped the same day, and fermented in open tanks for 12–36 hours, with the timing adjusted to each harvest. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is thoroughly washed to remove the remaining mucilage before drying slowly on covered solar beds. Careful airflow, frequent turning, and patient drying preserve clarity, sweetness, and vibrant acidity, producing a cup that is exceptionally clean, transparent, and expressive—the hallmark of Paola's approach to Colombian coffee.

Since then, we have offered this coffee each year as a staple on our menu. We created the name to represent all the lots that contribute to the Bella Vista Mill, it became our way of supporting multiple producers in Antigua when we were first getting started. Las Sonajas is a collaboration of 16 separate producers who grow coffee over 1,700 meters up on the side of the Agua Volcano just outside of Antigua in the Hunapu subregion. It is a coffee with depth, complexity, as well as approachability for most coffee drinkers.
Experience
Delicate stone fruit, bright citrus pastry, and nuanced sweetness make Las Sonajas another winning cup this year. The first sip is like that first bite of a ripe nectarine. The sweetness of that juicy summer fruit is quickly cut by the combination of bright creamy tang of a powder sugar coated lemon bar, before layering in the delicate floral finish of honey blossom. Las Sonajas is an excellent coffee for someone looking for an easily drinkable coffee with some slight complexity.

Deep Dive
The Hunapú producer group is a collection of producers who are known to grow some of the best coffee in Antigua. The name of the producer group, Hunapú, is the local indigenous name for the nearby volcano, Volcán de Agua. The producers themselves all reside on the lower to mid altitudes of the actual volcano. There are many coffee producers in this area with small plots of land who bring their fresh crop to the Bella Vista coffee mill for processing and export.
Region: Antigua
Antigua sits in the shadow of three volcanoes, including the very active Fuego Volcano. It's that same volcanic ash that contributes to the incredible minerality of the soil, and in turn, the beautiful chocolate and citric characteristics of the coffee. Their holistic approach to farming has lead them to removing all herbicides and pesticides from the farm and plant native plants throughout the farm to aid in soil nutrients. These types of projects create a sweet, clean and juicy coffee profile and make farming more sustainable.
Processing Method: Washed
Washed coffees in Guatemala are first de-pulped to remove the fruit from the seed. Mucilage remains on the seed and a fermentation process is used next to remove the mucilage. After the mucilage is removed, the coffee seeds are washed and then laid out to dry on cement patios. They are frequently monitored and moved with wooden handles to create an even drying. This step creates more stability when the coffee is fully dried, giving the green coffee a longer shelf life.

Steven Vargas is a 4th generation coffee producer from the West Valley of Costa Rica. Steven comes from a family of coffee producing pioneers, and in 2010 he joined their ranks, going all in on the family specialty coffee operation. Since then the family has focused on keeping production practices simple, with high attention to detail to attain the highest quality possible. Their coffee processing was further advanced in 2011 when Steven and his father started their own Micromill. Named after Steven's grandfather, the Don Sabino Micromill allowed the family to streamline the consistency of their natural processes, honing in on the ideal drying times and practices using raised beds for optimum air flow. You can taste the meticulous nature that this coffee is processed with, as well as the familial experience and knowledge that resulted in it. We are excited to share this shining example of how clean and dynamic natural processed coffees can be.

The climate coupled with a number of private quality forward micromills, such as the Don Sabino Micromill, result in some of the best Naturally processed coffees in the world.
Processing Method: Natural
Natural Processed coffees at the Don Sabino Micromill are dried in their full cherry form on raised beds for 20 - 40 days depending on weather conditions. To ensure even drying, the cherries are rotated throughout the day while under direct sunlight, and covered with plastic at night to protect them from too much additional moisture. Once the cherries reach their desired humidity, they are sorted by size, and then the dried fruit shelling is hulled off to prepare the coffee for export. Natural processed coffees are loved for their fruit-forward flavors that are easily recognizable and approachable.

The Kintamani is a naturally processed coffee sourced from family-owned farms in the highlands of Kintamani on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The move toward natural processing in the region began as a response to a very real challenge: water scarcity. Producers found that drying whole, ripe cherries was a practical alternative to more water-intensive processing, especially since raised beds were already being used to dry parchment coffee. What started as a solution to a local environmental need has grown into a successful processing tradition that allows producers to work with the resources available to them. It’s a natural process we can stand behind, from the way the coffee is grown and processed to the people and communities behind it. For us, this coffee is another way to share the diversity of coffee with our guests while staying true to our mission of making specialty coffee more approachable, more connected, and more fun.
Experience
This coffee opens with notes of blackberry and root beer, followed by a smooth milk chocolate sweetness. The acidity is lively but rounded, while the body feels plush and balanced, giving the coffee a satisfying body. The finish lingers with a sweet, chocolatey character that makes you want to dive right into your next sip. This is a coffee for someone who wants to explore the fruit-forward side of specialty coffee without stepping too far outside the familiar.

Kintamani coffee is a natural, meaning the coffee cherries are picked when ripe and dried whole, with the fruit still surrounding the coffee seed. Rather than removing the fruit before drying, producers carefully manage the cherries on raised beds, allowing them to dry slowly and evenly. By allowing the coffee to dry in its whole-cherry form, producers can develop the concentrated fruit character and sweetness that make well-executed natural coffees so distinctive.

Today, the farmers who deliver to Mulish typically work small family farms, averaging around four hectares. Coffee is part of a broader way of life, alongside cattle and beekeeping. We always want a washed Ethiopian on the menu because of the delicious floral flavor profile. But what makes this one special is the community behind it. Mulish is helping create more opportunity for farmers in an area where coffee has become an increasingly important part of life.
Experience
On the first sip the Mulish has flavors of tart stone fruits like peach that add a vibrancy that is present at every temperature. As it cools, the coffee gets sweeter and more refreshing, reminding us of a honey-sweetened Arnold Palmer on a warm summer day. The finish is soft and clean, leaving you ready for another sip.
