Coffee Description
This coffee is ONLY roasted EVERY MONDAY.
The Carbonic Maceration Process allows us to achieve a brighter, more aromatic, floral, sweet coffee, as well as accentuate certain flavors and acidity thanks to the union of the 2 varietals that we select for this process. Cupping flavor notes of orange, pink lemonade and sweet caramelized sugar.
Carbonic Maceration Process fermentation begins with the CO2 being injected into the bins, this displaces the oxygen (O2) existing in the bin leading to a maceration environment. With a starting point at a minimum degree of maturation of 90% and an average Brix degree of 20-24. When picking the coffee cherries quality control is used to filter the best coffee cherries. After the coffee reaches the processing area, it is rafted (floats) in order to eliminate by density those dry beans, brocades, leaves, voids that may affect the homogeneity of fermentation in addition to improving the physical quality of the coffee (yield factor).

Klatch
Klatch \ˈklach, ˈkläch\ --People getting together to share life, especially over coffee.
And that’s what Klatch Coffee has been about since owner Mike Perry decided to follow his passion for quality coffee. While in college, he asked himself, "Why not bring together the charm and comfort of a traditional coffeehouse and serve world class specialty coffees?" And so he did. In 1993, he and his wife, Cindy, opened their first location in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, called it Coffee Klatch (later changed to the present name, Klatch Coffee), and began searching the world for the cream of the coffee crops, and small-batch roasting that top 1% of specialty beans to coax the best flavors and aromas from them.
Now, with five locations (plus their roastery) in Southern California as well as a shop in LAX United Terminal, Mike and his family and their dedicated team have built on that foundation of being a place where people love to linger over truly special coffee. Meanwhile, they’re making history one award at a time. A few of these include:
Prestigious Golden Bean Awards
Only espresso ever awarded "Best Espresso in the World" at the World Barista Championships (2007)
U.S Brewers’ Cup Champion
Good Food awards winner
Mike says, “Our commitment to honest business practices means we build trust and loyalty with the farmers we work with. All of this is accomplished through a Direct Trade model and a simple handshake.”
