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 Andes Natural from Peru is grown by Nolberto Uriate Julca, who has lived and worked in the fields since the age of 10 when he started helping his family on the farm. In 2000, at the age of 20, he planted his first 5,000 coffee trees, earning a modest yet delicious first harvest of 5 quintals (the traditional unit of measuring green coffee at origin, equivalent to roughly 100 pounds). Over the years, he expanded his farm and improved both his harvest and post-harvest practices with the support of his entire family. In the last two decades Nolberto has been able to significantly increase production; harvesting 140 quintales in 2024, and increasing to 150 in 2025. Today, at 45 years old, Nolberto continues to innovate, experimenting with new exotic varieties to meet the demands of the growing specialty market. His farm has provided the financial stability to educate his children and create new opportunities for his neighbors, many of whom take part in the yearly harvest.
Experience
The Andes Natural is the perfect pairing for your outings this summer. It opens with a deep, tart sweetness, like biting into a freshly picked black cherry. As you continue to enjoy your cup, that sweetness deepens into a heavy body, transforming the tartness into notes of cooked strawberries, reminiscent of homemade strawberry jam. Together, these flavors bring a fruity, clean dimension to a nutty, candy-like Toblerone chocolate finish. This coffee highlights how processing methods shape flavor, offering a balanced blend of fruit and chocolate. The Andes Natural is a great choice for adventure seekers and coffee enthusiasts who want a little more fruit in their cup while still enjoying the comfort of a familiar, satisfying profile. This pairing reflects our commitment to craft—understanding the details and celebrating the skill that goes into every cup.

Coffee arrived in Cañaris through families who migrated temporarily to San Ignacio and Jaén to work on coffee farms. They later returned with seedlings, planting the first coffee trees in a region once considered too cold and too remote. The result surprised everyone: a spectacular, elegant cup profile that has since drawn growing interest from the wider community. These traditional agricultural knowledge systems and ancestral practices remain alive today.
Region Cañaris, Lambayeque
Cañaris sits high in the northern Andes of Peru, a region more commonly associated with beaches and seafood than high-elevation coffee. Yet just above 2,000 meters, surrounded by misty ridges and Quechua-speaking communities, a new chapter in Peru’s coffee history is unfolding. Located near the border of Cajamarca, Cañaris is an isolated subregion of Lambayeque due to limited state presence and difficult access. Despite this, the community has preserved its agrobiodiversity, cultivating a wide variety of tubers and vegetables for local consumption and food security. These conditions—high altitude, slow maturation, and careful post-harvest handling—produce an exceptionally clean and aromatic coffee.
Processing Method Natural
The cherries are first picked by hand and carefully sorted. They then undergo size and color sorting before being fermented for 48 hours. After fermentation, the cherries are lightly rinsed with the skin still on to remove any debris, then dried directly under the sun for approximately 30 days. This slow, controlled drying phase is essential, allowing for even roasting and contributing to a longer shelf life, while preserving the coffee’s clarity and complexity.

The Andes Washed coffee from Peru is a reflection of the organic and sustainable practices at the Cenfrocafe cooperative, which are key to the success of both the co-op and its growers. Established in 1999 with 11 associations and 2,200 grower members, over the last two and a half decades Cenfrocafe has grown to include 2,400 members. The cooperative has built its operations around cupping, as well as precise lot separation and preparation. Their cuppers were among the first to become Q-certified in Peru, and more importantly, they have maintained the discipline and craft of cupping over the years. The region has only been developed over the last 30 years, and the small holding producers that operate in the area are paid premiums for each level of quality they achieve. The stability of the co-op’s membership, even in volatile markets, is a testament to the strength of their support for growers.
Experience
The Andes washed coffee is a perfect example of the approachable everyday profile you can expect at Cat & Cloud. It’s a versatile roast that opens with the tartness of fresh, ripe cherry, and as it cools, it blends harmoniously with the subtle florality of wildflower honey. A nougat-like finish adds a layer of sweetness that pairs well with cream and sugar. An excellent coffee for enthusiasts who are familiar with lighter coffees and enjoy a balanced cup.

Region - Cajamarca
Located in the tropical highlands of northern Peru, Cajamarca offers fertile soil, and high mountainous elevation perfect for growing coffee.The region’s unique microclimates and rich biodiversity contribute to deep, sweet, and heavy-bodied profiles. Smallholding producers enhance this natural potential through careful organic farming practices, using compost and Guano de Isla—an organic fertilizer rich in micronutrients that promotes tree health. Methodical pruning and a focus on avoiding overproduction further strengthen plant vitality. These practices proved especially important in 2013, when coffee leaf rust affected much of Peru, yet this region remained resilient due to its healthy trees and disciplined farm management. Together, these environmental and agricultural factors directly translate into greater clarity, sweetness, and structure in the final cup.
Processing - Method Washed
Ripe coffee cherries are picked and de-pulped the same day, then undergo 12–18 hours of open-air fermentation before being washed to remove remaining mucilage. Due to wet conditions during the harvest season, the coffee is primarily dried in parabolic dryers, though drying methods can vary depending on elevation and climate. At higher elevations, fermentation may take longer, requiring careful attention to consistency. What stands out most is the precision of the drying process—so well executed that these coffees maintain remarkable stability, tasting consistent even 11 months after harvest. This level of control minimizes defects like aldehydes from incomplete drying, resulting in a clean, expressive, and long-lasting flavor profile.

The Pantan Musara washed comes to us from a small mill found in the Pegasing district of Takengon, in Sumatra’s coffee-famous Aceh region. The mill is run by Cup of Excellence winner Asman Arianto where he produces both washed and natural coffees. Due to the humid climate and cloud cover commonly found over the island of Sumatra, washed coffees are rarely produced. The unpredictability of rain and lack of reliable sunshine make the traditional drying for washed coffees nearly impossible, making it difficult to produce washed processed coffee for export at volume. The development of the wet-hulled process, locally known as Giling Basah, allowed coffees to dry much faster on patios or tarps even in these conditions by removing the parchment layer while the beans are still in a high-moisture state. This unique style of handling and drying is largely responsible for Sumatran coffees’ unmistakable flavor characteristics as well as their abnormally greenish-blue hue.
Experience
Bright, creamy sweetness, and a bold tea-like finish gives the Pantan Musara the classic Sumatran coffee experience. The tang of candied lemon wakes your senses before the rich, buttery, cooked sugars of caramel take over. This intense candy combination settles into a robust, malty black tea finish. The Pantan Musara is perfect for anyone familiar with delicate washed coffees or looking for a little variety in their morning cup.

Region: Aceh
Located in northern Sumatra, Aceh is an incredible region for coffee production. 95% of the producers in this region operate on one hectare of land, and of those producers in northern Sumatra 80% are women. The region is geographically diverse, surrounded by beaches with a swampy inland, and volcanic mountains making up the inner two-thirds. Coffee is grown on the Barisan Mountains amongst the lush cover of tropical rainforest, this in combination with the rich volcanic soil creates the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.
Processing Method: Washed
The Wet-Hulled process was developed in the 1970’s, inspired by Japanese interest in Sumatran coffees, as a way to allow for washed coffees to be produced in the damp humid climate. Washed coffees from Sumatra are harvested and depulped by hand in the producer's home, where it then dries for a short time before being delivered to a collection point. Here the coffee is purchased at anywhere from 30-50% moisture with the mucilage still partially intact and fermented in open air tanks for up to 36-hours before being washed clean. The coffee is then hulled while it is still in the high moisture state, and laid out to dry once the mucilage has been removed.

Marta Yaneth Lemus owns a small farm in El Salvador called San Antonio, where her dedication to growing coffee is reflected in every cup. Instead of growing coffee the easy way she chose a rare and demanding variety: Pacamara. This variety is known for producing exceptional flavor, but requires immense care and is highly vulnerable to disease. Marta’s willingness to take that risk is exactly what made her coffee stand out on our cupping table. Her Pacamara is clean, floral, and deeply complex, revealing the years of knowledge, patience, and precision required to produce a coffee of this caliber.
Experience
Marta’s washed pacamara is floral and layered with tropical sweetness. On the first sip it hits the senses with a sparkling acidity reminiscent of fresh guava and crisp apple cider. As the cup cools, notes of French vanilla begin to emerge, creating a soft sweetness that balances the coffee’s vibrant structure. Marta’s coffee is for those who value clarity, complexity, and the craftsmanship behind lighter roasted coffees.

Deep Dive
Pacamara is a celebrated coffee variety most commonly grown in El Salvador, where it has become known for its exceptional cup quality and frequent success in Cup of Excellence competitions. The Cup of Excellence is an international coffee auction that rewards farmers for producing outstanding coffees, often paying far above traditional market prices. These programs create life-changing opportunities for producers, helping farmers invest back into their land, support their communities, and build long-term relationships with roasters around the world. Beyond the auction itself, the program strengthens coffee-growing regions by improving quality standards, encouraging transparency, and creating sustainable growth throughout the supply chain. It is one of the many ways specialty coffee can create meaningful change through partnership, craftsmanship, and shared responsibility.
Region: Chalatenango
Marta’s coffee is grown in Chalatenango, the northernmost and coolest coffee-growing region in El Salvador. At elevations reaching 1,500 meters above sea level, the region’s cool climate allows coffee cherries to mature slowly, developing greater sweetness and complexity. Combined with mineral-rich volcanic soil, these growing conditions contribute to the creamy body, floral aromatics, and layered acidity found in Marta’s coffee.
Processing Method: Washed
Washed coffees are among the most common processing methods in El Salvador and are celebrated for their clarity and brightness in the cup. After harvest, ripe coffee cherries are depulped the same day they are picked and placed into open-air fermentation tanks for 12 to 24 hours. Once fermentation is complete, the remaining fruit is washed away, and the coffee is carefully dried on raised beds for approximately 15 to 22 days. This method highlights Marta’s careful farming practices and the unique qualities of the Pacamara variety to shine through with clarity and precision.

Los Abuelitos is a washed coffee from Puebla, Mexico. The name, meaning “Grandparents,’’ pays homage to the ancestors of the land who chose to grow coffee long before specialty coffee gained global attention. While Mexico is historically known for coffee-growing regions like Veracruz, Chiapas, and Oaxaca, regions like Puebla are only recently receiving recognition for producing coffees with delicate acidity, layered sweetness, and a comforting profile. We believe coffee can change the way the world does business by creating relationships rooted in respect, hospitality, and shared growth. Los Abuelitos reflects those values through a cup that is approachable, intentional, and crafted with pride. The warmth and familiarity of this coffee also connects to longstanding traditions in Mexican coffee culture — traditions that continue to bring people together around the table today.
Experience
Los Abuelitos is a washed coffee that turns words into feelings. This coffee is the definition of a “hug in a mug.” The first sip gives us the nostalgic memory of a butterscotch candy from grandma’s candy dish. The second sip wraps its arms around us and gently wakes our senses with the crisp, fresh acidity of green apple. Finally, the warm and comforting finish of cacao is steady and familiar. When you simmer this coffee with cinnamon and piloncillo it creates a simple Café de Olla that highlights the coffee’s natural sweetness and cacao finish. Los Abuelitos invites people to slow down, be present, and enjoy time together — a reminder that great coffee is not only about flavor, but about connection. It satisfies both the coffee enthusiast searching for sweetness and complexity, and the grandparents who like a bolder cup.

In many parts of Mexico, coffee has long been connected to hospitality, family, and shared daily rituals. One of the most recognized traditional preparations is Café de Olla, a brewing method that combines coffee with sugar and spices. The tradition became well known during the Mexican Revolution, when women known as “adelitas” served these drinks from clay pots. Over generations, Café de Olla evolved from a practical daily drink into a cultural symbol of gathering, resilience, and care for others. While Los Abuelitos is presented as a clean and expressive washed coffee, we appreciate how its comforting sweetness and cacao notes naturally connect to these traditions.
Region: Puebla
Bordering Veracruz to the north and Oaxaca to the south, Puebla is a small state in Mexico, but the 5th most populated in the country. This particular lot comes from the north and is separated by the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains, a major ecological and geographical divider in North America. The soil is exceptionally fertile, adding to complexity to the final cup. These nutrient-dense conditions help support Mexico’s comforting coffee profile and make it a cup worth sharing.
Processing Method: Washed
Los Abuelitos is a washed-process coffee from various smallholder producers. The coffee cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and placed in wooden tanks for 24–48 hours to ferment. The cherries are then depulped to remove the skin and mucilage before being washed. The seeds are dried on cement patios for 4–10 days, then transferred to a warehouse to be stored until they are ready to ship to ports in the U.S.

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.

In 2015 Cat & Cloud owners Chris, Jared, and Charles visited their friend Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora at his famed Bella Vista coffee mill where Las Sonajas is processed, and fell in love with its deep yet approachable profile. 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.
Experience
Sweet, sparkly, with a round creamy finish, the Steven Vargas is deliciously balanced natural process coffee. Ripe raspberry hits the palate first, combined with the sparkling sweetness of grape soda. The fruit forward flavors are wrapped in a creamy, heavy body, creating a finish reminiscent of smooth peanut butter. This is an excellent offering for anyone looking to drive into a unique single origin that is still approachable.

Region: Central Valley
The Don Sabino Micromill resides in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The 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 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.
