Coffee Description
We’ve gone with a little hotter and shorter roast this year, and it’s brought out an almost effervescence in the
coffee, turning what were red grape notes last year, into more of a grape soda this
year. This is a cup full of red grape fruit, a toffee-like body and a honey sweetness in the
finish.

About Daniela and Tatiana Gutierrez of Costa Rica
Daniela Gutierrez is a washed Caturra coffee, grown on the misty hillsides around the
tall peak of Cerro Calera, at 1600-1800 masl. The high altitude and volcanic soil
produce sweet and clean flavors, which is the hallmark of washed Costas from this area.

Cat & Cloud
Based in the west coast beach town of Santa Cruz, CA, Cat & Cloud Coffee was started by long-time coffee professionals Chris Baca, Jared Truby, and Charles Jack. Chris and Jared hold five Top-5 finishes in the US Barista, Brewer's Cup, and Latte Art Competitions between them. Begun as a podcast and an online webstore in 2015, Cat & Cloud opened their first retail location September of 2016.
With a vision “To Change the Way the World Does Business,” they created and currently run the most-listened to/watched Coffee-related Podcast and YouTube channel in the US. Whether it’s previous work in Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan as part of TechnoServe's East Africa Coffee Initiative, making sure their team members are well taken care of and sending them to origin, to developing relationships with coffee producer partners based on repeatable quality scores, not the volatility of the C-market.
Working to be content creators, information sharers, and industry leaders, they strive “to learn, grow, and create a community that feels good to EVERYONE, not just to the few people at the top.”
