This coffee is a washed Parainema variety from Honduras. The coffee is grown by Angel Antonio Rivera in the Las Quebradas section of the Santa Barbara Mountain region, and processed at the San Vicente Mill. The farm uses fully organic practices though not certified. The cup features bright, fruity flavors with notes of limeade and nectarine, followed by a sweet finish of chocolate and butter reminiscent of fresh-baked brownies.
Cat and Cloud was founded in 2016 in Santa Cruz, California by Jared Truby, Chris Baca, and Charles Jack all former barista champions and coffee competition veterans. The roastery runs a Loring S15 Falcon. The company is built around what the founders call a Making People Happy philosophy, placing hospitality at the centre of everything from café service to wholesale relationships. Three Santa Cruz locations serve the retail side, and a popular podcast launched in 2017 covers coffee, hospitality, and the culture around both. Sourcing focuses on relationship coffees and farmer partnerships through direct trade.
