Story

Triangle Accent

Experience the vibrant flavors of Organic Colombia Huila Excelso EP, bursting with highly complex, rich, deep carmel warmth of sweet panela, creamy milk chocolate, and lively citrus. A silky body and bright acidity lead to a smooth finish, with floral and citrus notes emerging themselves as the cup cools.

Nestled in the mountains of Huila, Colombia, ASEPROPAZ (Asociación Ecológica Productores de Paz) is a network of smallholder farmers dedicated to organic farming, environmental stewardship, and exceptional specialty coffee. By working together, members have gained better market access while preserving their land, traditions, and communities.

Huila's rich volcanic soils, elevations of 1,500–2,000 meters, and ideal mountain climate create the perfect conditions for slow-ripening coffee cherries, producing the sweetness, clarity, and complexity the region is known for. Many farms also grow bananas, citrus, avocados, and native shade trees, supporting biodiversity and long-term sustainability.

For years, nearby Tolima remained isolated by armed conflict, limiting opportunities for coffee producers. As the region has stabilized, local associations have helped connect farmers with specialty coffee markets, creating new economic opportunities.

Each harvest is selectively handpicked, then carefully depulped, fermented, washed with fresh mountain water, and slowly dried to preserve the coffee's vibrant character. Every cup reflects the craftsmanship, resilience, and commitment of the producers who grow it.

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.
