Story

Triangle Accent

It’s back, and it’s brighter, juicier, and more irresistible than ever! Say hello to this year’s El Salvador Las Mercedes Maracaturra Anaerobic Natural — a wildly expressive cup bursting with playful notes of fresh roses, crisp green grape, and luscious fig. As it cools, the magic truly unfolds. The vibrant acidity gently softens, allowing those radiant, layered flavors to shine even more brilliantly. And the true showstopper? That unforgettable sweetness, silky, sparkling, and perfectly balanced with creamy richness. Every sip is an adventure, and every cup is pure joy from the very first taste to the last lingering drop.

We at Klatch Coffee were initially drawn to Las Mercedes for its exceptional coffee. However, what has sustained our long-standing partnership as Direct Trade Partners is our shared love for community, the creativity and science of processing methods, and our unwavering commitment to consistently striving to make our coffee the best it can be.

The flavors of our Maracaturra are brought out using an ASD, or Anaerobic Slow Dry process. This process, similar to the one used to ferment wine, involves fermenting coffee without oxygen. After harvesting and cleaning the coffee cherries, they are placed in fermentation barrels and left for 90 hours, or until all air bubbles have dissipated. Subsequently, the coffee cherries are removed from the barrels and, depending on the weather, dried on raised beds for 30-45 days.

The world of coffee is interconnected. Our Klatch founder and CFO, Mike, makes annual visits to our farms, where we share the rich history of coffee, a journey that begins long before the coffee even reaches our roasters.

Story:

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.
