Story

Triangle Accent

Our El Salvador Las Mercedes El Rubi Honey is grown on the La Avila lot and offers a caramel and molasses flavor that finishes with mandarin. With a lingering sweet aftertaste and a bright, juicy mouthfeel, this Honey Processed coffee is a memorable cup that will get your day going. El Rubi is a lot from La Avila mostly consisting of Bourbon and SL28 varietals. This lot has a special terrain because it has a lot of red soil (clay) and is under the shade, making this a special micro-climate that gives coffee that amazing and special sweet flavor. This coffee was chosen by Holly Perry for her wedding blend, so you could say it has her personality-sweet and charming!

The world of coffee is interconnected. Klatch Coffee's founder, Roastmaster, and CFO, Mike, makes annual visits to our farms, and enjoys sharing the history of coffee, a journey that begins long before it makes its way to our roasters.

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.

    Light body and mouthfeel, mellow acidity and and refined soft fruitiness. Really great spring coffee, perfect for this unseasonably warm weather here in New England! This coffee benefits from sitting ~7 days after roast date. Flavors settled in perfectly at that point. Brewed as pour over.

    It's sweet. It's fruity. It's fresh and tasty! If you need to wake up quickly but don't want to be shaken abruptly, brew a cup of ElSalvador El Rubi Honey. You'll fall in love.

    This is still one of my favorites. The second bag I got was roasted maybe a tiny bit longer, so the flavor was slightly different. Still delicious, but not as good a the first bag.

    The coffee was bold but not bitter, with low acidity and great taste. Loved it!
