The Answer is Cat & Cloud's flagship blend sourced from three origins: Colombia (Huila), Brazil (Mogiana), and Ethiopia (Yirgacheffe). The blend features Caturra, Yellow Bourbon, and Heirloom varieties grown at elevations between 1,100-1,900 meters above sea level. Processing methods include both washed and natural. The coffee is roasted to be beautifully balanced with pronounced fruit, chocolate, and caramel notes. Suitable for both brewed coffee and espresso applications, it delivers caramel and butterscotch flavors in milk-based drinks with hints of fruit.
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.
