Our flagship blend does double duty for both brewed coffee and espresso applications. Pronounced fruit, chocolate, and caramel notes from three separate origins make for a coffee that's incredibly intricate, yet roasted to be beautifully balanced. You can dig in and analyze it, or just turn your brain off and enjoy it. In milk based drinks The Answer melts into pure caramel and butterscotch, with hints of fruit peeking around the corner. We've been working on this one for a while and are incredibly proud of what we've created together.

Cooked fruit, rich chocolate, and complex sugars give the Friend Zone decaf an absolutely delicious profile. Opening in the first sip with sweet strawberry jam, rolling into the nutty earthiness of cocoa nib, before settling into the developed sweetness and syrupy mouthfeel of molasses. The Friend Zone is a coffee perfect for anyone, whether you’re looking for a caffeine break or not. 

Decaf never tasted so good. 100% water processed with no chemicals, this single origin Ethiopia decaf works great for brewed coffee and espresso duties. Balanced low-toned flavors with just a sprinkle of fruitiness to tie the whole experience together. Aside from being delicious by itself, Friend Zone takes cream and sugar like a champ, which accentuates it's molasses-y characteristics.

We love that naturals are so polarizing in the coffee community. If you are familiar with our brand at all, you know we value them as approachable and exciting for coffee drinkers across the experience spectrum. It’s for this reason that you’ll likely see a naturally processed coffee on our coffee menu year-round. 

That said, we taste tables and tables of naturally processed coffees before approving one for our menu. This lot, from the Guji region in southern Ethiopia, is lighter in body, particularly juicy, and rounds out with a clean finish. It shines in both espresso and pour-over form and is a delight in the cup!

The specific lots of coffee and farms that we bring in for this menu slot may change throughout the year as the seasons change, but we love offering (and drinking!) a coffee with this flavor profile, so you can expect to see something fresh and delicious from this region of Brazil on our menu for most of the year.

Fazenda Rainha is located in Brazil’s Vale da Grama, an ancient volcanic valley that spans the borderlands of Mogiana and Minas Gerais. We love coffees grown in old volcanic areas, as the (relative) newness of the soil is full of nutrients. The rolling hillsides of the farm produce trees lush with green leaves and plump, juicy, Yellow Bourbon cherries. A repeat finalist in the Brazil Cup of Excellence, Fazenda Rainha took home first place in 2011. Their commitment to excellence is apparent in every cup.

Region: Colombia

The coffee in El Tejo will primarily come from the largest producing regions of Colombia, including Huila, Nariño, and Cauca, and are composed of multiple producers' combined production. Colombia has some of the most intense terrain in the coffee-growing world, with producers spread far and wide throughout the country. This lends itself to a ton of flavor variation, region to region. 

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.

This natural process coffee comes to us from the Manos Juntas Micromill in Cauca, Colombia. The producers involved in this mill are all from surrounding farms, making it a short trip to deliver rather than the many kilometers they’d normally have to drive to town. The members of this micromill focus on quality over quantity, selling only the ripest and freshest cherries directly to Manos Juntas. The arriving cherries are immediately separated by producer and variety to retain traceability before processing, drying, and storage take place. This separation of responsibility encourages better harvest practices directly correlated to high-quality cups by allowing producers to focus exclusively on their farm's health. We are stoked to add a coffee that is consistent in quality and flavor profile. 

Experience
The first sip of the Manos Juntas natural is subtle yet intensely juicy, reminding us of a perfect honeydew slice. On the second sip, the bright melon melts away leaving behind a sweet and silky grape jelly flavor. When the ballad of flavor concludes, your senses are left refreshed and yearning for another sip of vanilla cola. The culmination of these flavors makes the Manos Juntas Natural the perfect coffee for any coffee enthusiast who likes bright and fruity coffees.

Flavor Notes // Honeydew, Grape Jelly, Vanilla Cola

Deep Dive
In 2005, Cenicafe – a scientific research sector of Colombia's FNC (National Federation of Coffee Growers) launched the Castillo variety. This Castillo hybrid is a cross between Catura and Timor. The Catura was used for its short plant structure, and the Timor was used for its rust-resistance qualities. These two varieties work together, creating a smooth, aromatic, and citrus acidity common in Castillo varieties.

Region: Cauca
Cauca is in central-western Colombia, stretching from the Western Cordillera mountain range to the Pacific Ocean. Ocean winds and elevation result in Cauca being one of the coolest regions of the country. The coffee in this area is grown mostly by indigenous or Afro-descendant communities. Geographically, the region has many features, including the Popayan Plateau, many rivers, and the central volcanic mountain range. The high humidity and rainy climates across Colombia make it challenging to achieve a high-quality naturally-processed coffee; but, when it is done properly, and the coffee is moved consistently throughout the curing process, we find the resulting cup profile to be exquisite.

Processing Method: Natural
Upon arrival, the cherries are placed in a large gas-tight tank for a five-day-long anaerobic fermentation. During this period, nitrogen gas is introduced into the tanks in order to stimulate the yeast. The introduction of yeast allows the cherries to develop complex and deep flavors. Then, Brix and pH are measured constantly through this process to measure the sugar levels and to determine the stopping point for fermentation. The coffee is then subjected to 68°F temperatures in order to cease fermentation and remove the yeast and other microorganisms. The cherry is then aged in tanks for a period of five more days before it is taken to solar dryers. Drying takes 30 – 45 days.

Guji, Ethiopia

Connect

Tesfaye Bekele’s coffee comes to us from the renowned Guji zone of Ethiopia. In 1997, Tesfaye started his professional career working in Natural Resource Management for Ethiopia’s government, overseeing the Guji region. At that time, Guji was recovering from widespread wildfires that destroyed 5000 acres of land. Tesfaye’s solution to both revitalize and repopulate the scorched earth involved a combination of planting native trees and coffee plants. After several seasons of slow traction, Tesfaye decided to resign from his governmental job and focus all his energy into creating the Suke Quto washing station. He believed that doing this would offer the community a means to rebuild their livelihood while allowing him to work directly with the local community. 

His idea flourished, and now the Suke Quto farm brings in coffee from 287 local producers as well as processing Tesfaye’s own harvest. He forms part of Operation Cherry Red, along with other notable washing stations, to improve the quality of coffee from Ethiopia. Tesfaye Bekele’s aspiration became the innovative force that shaped the success of Guji coffee, which is why we decided to highlight him on the label.

Experience

Tesfaye Bekele’s coffee shines a light on the nuance that coffees from the Guji region are beloved for. It hits you upfront with the sweet and creamy acidity of persimmon, evolving into a delicate and refreshing aroma of marzipan. The body is light and floral like black tea. If you love clean coffee from Ethiopia or favor the lighter specialty flavor profile, this is the coffee for you!

Deep Dive
The Operation Cherry Red program was founded to highlight unique coffee profiles that are traceable to individual families in Ethiopia. The transparent payment structure provides a measurable impact on the relationship between producer and roaster. By operating with purposeful partners with exceptional smallholders, roasters can supply a truly impactful, transparent, and traceable coffee supply chain. 

Region: Guji

The Guji Zone resides in the southern part of Ethiopia. The dense vegetation and microclimates create an environment that encourages biodiversity of native species, and where the coffee plant thrives. Many coffee farmers have coffee plants intermingled throughout their property, as it grows so well on its own without the structured agricultural fields you see in other coffee-producing countries.

Processing Method: Washed

In the washed process, the coffee cherries are first de-pulped to remove most of the fruit from the seed. Then the cherries are left to ferment for 35 - 48 hours in large bins. After the mucilage is removed, the coffee seeds are washed and then laid out to dry on raised beds for 14 - 21 days. During this time, cherries are turned about 6 times a day - ensuring consistent drying. This results in a sweet coffee with layers of clear flavors.

This coffee comes to us from El Mirador, a 32-hectare farm located in the town of Pitalito in Huila, Colombia. Elkin Guzman, owner of El Mirador, has been surrounded by coffee since he was born; his family has celebrated over 70 years in coffee, with over a decade of dedicated research in post-harvest processing techniques. His team utilizes multiple processing techniques depending on the individual lots of coffee, making their final decision based on which method is best suited to bring each lot to its fullest potential. This lot from El Mirador utilizes a special washed processing method that they refer to as Pink Champagne co-ferment. The variety is a hybrid crossing of Caturra and Ethiopia landraces - effectively named Catiope - a favorite of Elkin’s for its production and cup quality. This combination of unique variety and innovative processing makes for an incredible cup of coffee that we cannot wait for you to try. 

Experience

Tropical, fruity, and complex, the wonderfully funky Colombia El Mirado is an awesome new addition to our menu. Opening the first sip with a punch of the iconic cocktail combination of Piña Colada. The harmonious blend of sweetness and tang is lifted further by another classic duo - the juicy, berry fusion of Strawberry Kiwi. This absolute unit of tropicality rolls into a fragrant, ethereal Purple Haze finish that lingers in your senses long after your cup is empty. This coffee is truly unlike anything we’ve had on our menu before.

Region: Huila

Located in the mountainous southwest of Colombia, the Huila Department is known for the quantity and quality of coffee it produces. Colombia has some of the most intense terrain in the coffee-growing world, but its high elevation and microclimates make the region ideal for growing amazing coffee. Huila’s proximity to the equator allows that quality to be produced year-round, leading to a high cup quality. Huila’s coffee farms are predominantly smallholder-owned, and over the past ten years, have made concerted efforts to produce specialty coffee that reveals the full character of the region’s terroir and have even won several awards in The Cup of Excellence Competition. Typically presenting a complex acidity, heightened florality, and an underlying caramel sweetness.

Processing Method: Washed Co-Ferment 

The Pink Champagne Washed process begins by specifically selecting the cherries that have reached above 20 degrees Brix (1 degree of Brix per 1 gram of sugar dissolved). The coffee is then sorted further by floating the cherries in water to remove defects, before hand sorting to remove defects and overripe cherries. Once they have ensured they have the best quality coffee cherries, the fruit is depulped and macerated with a culture that has been fermented with spices and fruits. The pulped coffee is then fermented again in air-tight plastic tanks for 140 hours.  They continuously measure the Brix and pH and after this final fermentation, the coffee is dried for 25 - 30 days before being milled and prepared for export.

The Cafe Vida from Costa Rica represents the work of hundreds of small-holding producers across 15 micromills, and challenges the expectation that Costa Rica does not offer washed processed coffee. Much less common than the natural and honey-processed coffee Costa Rica is known for, washed coffees are processed using minimal water in accordance with the strict water conservation regulations the country has in place. Our partners who help us source this lot work closely with micromills and producers on the ground to put together consistent, high-quality lots of this washed coffee and export it under the name Cafe Vida. This is a unique opportunity to taste the subtle nuance the coffee grown in this region has, without the influence of fermentation or other more adventurous processing methods. We are excited to share this delicate and approachable single origin with you! 

Experience

The Cafe Vida is a beautiful balance between soft fruit notes and sweet, nutty pastry. Fresh apricot hits you up front, with a light sweetness and delicate acidity.

Region - Central Valley

Costa Rica’s Central Valley has a distinct weather pattern of wet and dry seasons, making it the ideal place for producers to grow coffee with both quality and consistency. The climate coupled with rich volcanic soil, high elevations, and access to quality micro mills for processing results in some of the most consistent and delicious coffee Costa Rica has to offer. 

Processing Method - Washed

Washed coffees from Costa Rica are usually processed using mechanical demucilaging machines rather than through a process of depulping-fermenting-washing: This is due to the fact that the national coffee authority, ICAFE, enforces strict regulations regarding the amount of water that can be used in coffee production. Coffee cherries are typically demucilaged the same day they are harvested, and dried on patios or mechanically.

We love coffee from Antigua Guatemala for its year-over-year consistency in quality. This lot from Finca Santa Cruz is a shining example of the balanced chocolate and citrus notes we love about Antiguan coffee. Owned by Regina Ponce De Leal, but managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora and Beneficio Bella Vista, Finca Santa Cruz is the ideal location for cultivating delicious coffee, given its high elevation and the consistent climate in the area. Finca Santa Cruz also applies sustainable farming practices that eliminate the need for pesticides and fertilisers. They keep the soil on the farm incredibly healthy by planting nitrogen-fixing trees throughout the rows of coffee, as well as utilising locally produced manure, courtesy of the owner’s horses and goats. The coffee plants are tended to by Luis Pedro’s experienced team, and once the cherries are harvested, they are brought to Bella Vista for processing and drying. Ensuring the coffee is handled with the utmost care throughout all stages from seed to export. 

Experience

Bright, round, and sweet, the Guatemala Santa Cruz is a beautifully balanced coffee. Orange zest hits the palate first, rounding out into the buttery sweetness of shortbread. The finish leaves the candy-like zing of Smarties lingering in your senses. This is the perfect balanced single origin for those who appreciate a clean, washed processed coffee.

Deep Dive

There is a long chain of hands that contributes to the production of this coffee before it finally lands with us. One of those touch points is the well-known Beneficio Bella Vista, and its industrious leader, Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora. Luis Pedro started Bella Vista as a way to uplift and support his community in Antigua through coffee production and education. In addition to operating their own farm, their team is constantly looking for more opportunities to provide jobs to families in the surrounding community, and is well known for not only their processing, milling and exporting expertise but for the training and support they provide producers. 

Region: Antigua

Antigua sits in the shadow of three volcanoes, including the very active Fuego Volcano. When Chris, Jared, and Charles first visited Antigua, Fuego was spewing plumes of ash, and the lava was flowing. 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.

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.

We started working with Nelin Guzman of Santa Barbara, Honduras, in 2018, and in 2020, he became part of our Best Friends Club’s direct relationship program. The BFC aims to support producers through the highs and lows of the coffee market, with Cat & Cloud promising to be present, consistent, and transparent through every step of the process. Every year we visit, we rejoice to see Nelin beam with excitement as he tells us about his farm, home improvements, and family happenings. This year was extra special because one of Nelin’s natural processed lots made it to a national competition called “Cup of Excellence,” setting a new high for the quality of his coffee. Nelin Guzman is the epitome of the Best Friends Club, and moments like these strengthen our drive to push the program forward and remind us that we have the power to create something bigger than ourselves.

Experience

Nelin’s coffee created a buzz around the cupping table with all the complex flavors we found. The first sip reminds us of being in a vineyard and eating grapes straight from the vine – sweet, tart, and bright. The second sip turns that sweetness into a deep burgundy color, reminding us of black cherries. Lastly, these notes are paired beautifully with a lingering finish that sits on your tongue like wildflower honey. This amazing tasting experience is great for those new to specialty coffee and seasoned professionals who want a bright and fruity cup.

The Cup of Excellence is a nationwide competition held every year in coffee-producing countries like Honduras. This year, over 300 coffee producers from all over Honduras submitted their coffees for evaluation. Then, 20 International judges calibrate together and assess every sample. Once the top 30 lots are announced,  they are entered into an online platform. Anyone worldwide can try their luck at buying some of the best coffees from Honduras, but nothing is guaranteed. Nelin Guzman is placed within those 30 slots with his Natural lo,t selling his coffee for well over $15 per pound.

 

Region - Santa Barbara

The Santa Barbara region of Honduras is a mountainous landscape in northwestern Honduras. Finca Los Zorzales is high in the jungle and has beautiful views of Lake Yojoba. We love coffee in this region because of the microclimate and native vegetation, aiding the soil with nutrients and shade. The land's biodiversity gives the coffee notes of wild flower honey because of the Meliponini bee that lives in the area. Tie this to a terrain that is rocky hillside that only advanced hikers can walk through, and drinking a mug feels like a scrumptious treat.

Processing Method - Honey

This is Nelin’s second year producing a honey process, and his knowledge and experience have skyrocketed since last year. With his consistent student mindset and community support, he R&D’ed his process to give us this year's Honey Parainema. He began by bagging fresh-harvested cherries in porous bags and allowing them to ferment and dry for 6 days in the shade. This allows all the cherries to reach a similar internal and external temperature, concentrating the sugar and giving us the sweet lingering finish always found in his coffee. The cherries are then partially depulped with a manual depulper, only using enough water to help the cherries pass through without damage. This allows the cherries to keep some mucilage on the seeds, which aids in the depth of the overall flavor profile. The coffee is then moved to raised beds for drying, creating a uniform batch that is beautifully reflected in the consistency in every batch we brew.
