About This Coffee

This Colombian coffee comes from three producers in the Bruselas area of Southern Huila: Luis Octavio Titimbo, Viviana Realpe, and Jose Uribe Lasso. The coffee is Pink Bourbon variety grown at 1700 meters above sea level. It undergoes an anaerobically fermented washed process, where cherries are fermented anaerobically with the cherry on, then again after depulping, before being fully washed. The result is a creamy and sweet cup with tartness reminiscent of pink lady apple, featuring notes of crème brûlée, redcurrant, and cacao nibs with a silky body. Harvested in 2025-26 and imported by Shared Source.

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.
