night shift
Cat & Cloud Coffee
-
Origin: Brazil
Region: Minas Gerais
Elevation: 1100 - 1400 masl -
If you like dark roasted, full-bodied coffee we haven't forgot about you. Night Shift is perfect for those who want "strong coffee" or want to put copious cream and sugar in their coffee (trust us: it's delicious this way). Remember that comfortable, cozy feeling you had sipping on diner coffee back in the day? Night Shift is the upgraded version of that, so drink it and make memories.
brazil
Cat & Cloud Coffee
-
Origin: Brazil
Region: Vale da Grama
Elevation: 1150 - 1350 masl -
Fazenda Rainha is located in Brazil’s Vale da Grama, an ancient volcanic valley that spans the borderlands of Mogiana and Minas Gerais. We love coffees grown in old volcanic areas, as the (relative) newness of the soil is full of nutrients. The rolling hillsides of the farm produce trees lush with green leaves and plump, juicy, Yellow Bourbon cherries.
This incredible environment, and unique pulped natural processing method results in coffee tasting like straight peanut butter and jelly. We love offering (and drinking!) a coffee with this flavor profile, so we keep it on our menu year-round.
Mexican Oaxacan
High Rise Roasters
-
Origin: Mexico
Region: Oaxaca
Elevation: 1,200 - 1,500 meters -
One of our most popular, this coffee offers caramel and chocolate highlights you'll find subtle, yet delightful. This bean produces a medium to rich bodied cup and is gentle and sweet in regard to acidity.
When drinking this coffee, you are not only supporting small farmers, but also Oaxacan State Coffee Producers Network’s (CEPCO) effort to improve the lives and working conditions of the Oaxacan farming community.
Ethiopia KERCHA
Cat & Cloud Coffee
-
Origin: Ethiopia
Region: Guji
Elevation: 1,800 - 2,200 masl -
Naturally processed coffees can be a bit polarizing in the coffee community. We value them as an exciting experience for coffee drinkers across the spectrum. If you like to keep it simple or if you’re always trying something new, a natural processed coffee is sure to leave an impression on what you think about coffee.
This coffee from the Guji region in southern Ethiopia, comes to us from several Smallholding producers. As the average farm size is so small in this region, typically around 2 acres in size, farmers rely on every bean they produce to provide for themselves. For this reason, as well as the coffee being a prefect example of what natural processed coffees are, we keep it on our coffee menu year-round.
Ethiopia sidamo
High Rise Roasters
-
Origin: Ethiopia
Region: Sidamo
Elevation: 1,400 - 2,200 meters -
You'll find that Ethiopian Sidamo coffee is well-balanced with notes of chocolate. It often exhibits tones of spice and wine. Low in acidity, the pleasant floral nose gives this coffee a finish that is bright and soft. This amazing coffee is grown in the Sidamo province of the Ethiopian highlands. Fun fact: historians say it is very likely that coffee originated in and around this region.
friend zone (decaf)
Cat & Cloud Coffee
-
Origin: Ethiopia
Region: Guji
Elevation: 1,400 - 1,800 masl -
Decaf never tasted so good. 100% water processed with no chemicals, this single origin decaf works great for brewed coffee and espresso duties. Balanced low-toned flavors with just a sprinkle of fruitiness to tie the whole experience together. Aside from being delicious by itself, Friend Zone takes cream and sugar like a champ, which accentuates it's molasses-y characteristics.
