Story
Savor the flavors of cherry, lime, and peach in our Organic Nicaragua coffee. Finca El Pastoral, owned and operated by Juan de Dios, is a family-run farm spanning 150 acres of coffee production. Only the finest cherries are carefully selected for their natural processed lots, showcasing Juan de Dios’s exceptional skill and dedication to the family business.
At Finca El Pastoral, cherries are chosen for specialized processing, setting them apart from the more common washed method. This natural processed lot exemplifies the care and commitment Juan de Dios invests in every harvest. During harvest, the cherries are meticulously picked and transported to the dry mill, where stable weather conditions allow for even drying inside the cherry. Once drying is complete, the coffee is stored and later prepared for export at the same dry mill. Their integrated model, in partnership with J&M Family Coffee—the family-run exporter—ensures quality control and complete traceability from farm to export.

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.
