Story

Triangle Accent

Get ready to meet your new favorite cup! Our Colombian coffee from Popayán, Cauca is like a little morning dance party for your taste buds. It kicks things off with molasses - brown sugar sweetness, a pop of lychee, and a zesty lime finish. Dive deeper, and you’ll catch whispers of tangerine, dark chocolate, kiwi, and even a hint of crisp fuji apple from our cupping notes. With its sweet aroma, smooth body, and a lively citrus-and-wine-like acidity, this brew is here to brighten your day. Sip, savor, smile!

Popayán, as a central coffee-producing microregion in Cauca, Colombia, offers an exceptional coffee-growing environment due to its unique geographical and climatic features. Nestled in the valley of Pubenza and surrounded by the Andes mountains, the region benefits from a high-altitude plateau, rich volcanic soil, and an optimal climate for coffee cultivation.

Most of the coffee farms in this region are typically smaller, about 5 hectares or less, allowing farmers to focus on quality and detail. Popayán is also home to several indigenous communities that have been growing coffee for decades, leveraging their deep connection to the land and its agricultural traditions. The region’s volcanic soil and favorable climate create ideal conditions for producing high-quality coffee.

Colombian coffees, including those from Popayán, are celebrated for their well-balanced flavor profiles. They are produced throughout the year, ensuring a consistent supply. This balance of sweetness, acidity, and clean flavors makes Popayán coffee an excellent choice as a stand-alone varietal or as a base component in blends and roast profiles, highlighting its versatility and prominence in the global coffee market.

Klatch Coffee is a woman-owned, family-operated coffee company based in Southern California and distributed worldwide. We source, roast, and brew our own coffee, and apply our scientific method to accomplish a taste best described with expletives and exclamations. Some say it’s obsessive, we say it’s fun. Our methodical approach is a mix of coffee artistry and mad science — obsessively meticulous and thoroughly documented over many tastings to get it just right. We call it our “peak of flavor method,” and it’s earned us a spot on the world coffee stage for three decades and counting. Here at Klatch, we spend a lot of energy searching for and studying about the best coffee we can offer. We value people and planet before profit, and at Klatch Coffee, the conversation around coffee never stops. Our Klatch Direct Trade Coffee journey begins with a partnership with like-minded producers - those who share our same commitment to ethics, excellence, environmental stewardship, quality, and community. We follow a Direct Trade Coffee model that is designed to meet the needs of the families in today’s market, and buy straight from the growers, cutting out the traditional middleman. In doing so, we're able to pay well above Fair-Trade minimums - by at least 25% - and often pay double or triple those prices based on the cup quality. Our buying model is designed to push the envelope of quality coffee by encouraging viable, meaningful careers in specialty coffee agriculture. We only buy Cup of Excellence quality coffee and above, often 90 points or more, and we believe that a farmer that grows such award-winning coffee should be given their due. Through our Klatch Direct Trade model, we have not only simplified the supply chain, but we've also improved the quality and sustainability for farmers and have built long-term relationships with producers in various countries.
