This coffee was sourced through Cat & Cloud’s Best Friends Club initiative, which provides ongoing support for individual producers through thick and thin. Nelin Guzman is a small-yield producer whose farm lies on the eastern slopes of Santa Barbara Mountain in Honduras. Despite facing challenges of reduced yields and the increasing price of fertilizer, Nelin has put together a beautiful washed lot this year. Cat & Cloud found refreshing lemonade notes and a lingering jasmine delicacy. We tasted a batch of fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookies with a side of honey, a silky body, and a pleasantly mild acidity.

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!
Food & Wine Magazine named Cat & Cloud the “Best Coffee Roaster in California” and their work goes beyond the phenomenal coffees they roast. The Capitola-based roasters interrogate the structure of the industry on their podcast and are transparent about every level of the business, from sourcing to barista pay.
