This single-origin coffee is produced by Steven Vargas, a 4th generation coffee producer from the West Valley region of Costa Rica. The coffee is processed using a natural method, utilizing raised beds for consistent drying. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of ripe raspberry and grape soda, offering a sweet and sparkly experience. It features a heavy, creamy body that finishes like smooth peanut butter.
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.
