Cat & Cloud use this coffee in their cafes as an intriguing alternative to their flagship espresso: a juicy-sweet and complex blend of washed Colombia, Ethiopia, and Kenya beans that’s packed with surprises. We tasted dark chocolate, kiwi, and cherry, with a citrus acidity and a silky, tea-like body.

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!

Notes: Your grind setting should be set so total brew time is between 3 - 3:30 minutes.
Grind coarser to speed up, finer to slow down.
