About This Coffee

This coffee is a blend from smallholder farmers in the Tolima region of Colombia. The beans are grown at elevations between 1600-2040 meters. The coffee is washed processed and includes Caturra, Colombia, and Castillo varieties. The 2024-25 harvest produces a sweet and balanced cup with milk chocolate, marshmallow, and candied apple flavor notes with citric acidity. The blend combines multiple small producers' offerings to create an extra sweet and creamy cup profile.

Cloud City Coffee

Cloud City Coffee was founded in 2002 by Jill Killen in Seattle's Maple Leaf neighborhood as a gathering place built around great coffee. Killen earned her Q Grader certification in 2017 and began roasting the following year from a facility in Seattle's Georgetown district. The roastery sources single origin coffees from producers in Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, and beyond, maintaining direct relationships with farmers and sharing detailed origin stories for each lot. An Ethiopia Lecho Torka won a 2022 Good Food Award, and Coffee Review has scored offerings like the Sumatra Lintong Triple Picked Reserve at 93 points. Cloud City remains woman owned and operated, with a longstanding commitment to community accessibility that began with dollar self serve drip coffee in its early days.
