This coffee is sourced from Kumbya Farm, located in the mountains northeast of Lake Kivu in Rwanda. The farm benefits from high altitude, fertile soil, and a unique microclimate created by the lake. This natural processed coffee features a vibrant flavor profile with notes of ripe blackberry, kiwi, and wildflower honey. It offers a complex, layered sweetness with a silky, floral finish.
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.
