Triangle Accent

Santa’s Favorite Holiday Brew

Way back before Santa became the beloved North Pole resident we all know, he was actually an Ethiopian reindeer herder! And let me tell you, he had an exceptional palate for a great cup of coffee. This holiday season, Santa returned to Ethiopia to savor a naturally bold and delectable bean—because nothing embodies the spirit of “Merry Christmas” like a cup of holiday magic. With its rich notes of sweet cranberry, chocolate, and a burst of sugar plum, this brew transports you to the essence of Christmas. So, cozy up, indulge, and let the warmth of the season fill your heart!

The Story of the First Christmas

Once upon a time, long before the North Pole and the elves, Santa—then known as St. Nicholas—was just an average Ethiopian reindeer herder. But one magical day, as his reindeer happily nibbled on the local vegetation, something extraordinary occurred. The reindeer began bouncing around with so much energy that they, well, started to fly!

Curious and a bit excited, Santa followed their high-flying antics and discovered the secret: a mysterious tree filled with bright red cherries. The reindeer loved these cherries, especially one named Rudolph, who ate so many that his nose turned a brilliant red! Santa, of course, had to give these cherries a try with his dear reindeer. The taste was amazing, but the result was sleepless nights! Instead of tossing and turning, Santa had an idea—why not share this amazing discovery with the world?

So, that’s exactly what he did. Santa hitched up his now-flying reindeer and set off to bring this incredible gift—coffee—to all the villages he could find. And for the children? Well, he couldn’t leave them out! Santa decided to leave little presents along with the coffee, spreading joy and cheer far and wide. Thus, the first Christmas was born, along with the very first batch of Original Christmas Coffee.

So, the next time you savor your holiday brew, take a moment to remember that you’re part of a long and enchanting tradition that started with flying reindeer, vibrant red cherries, and an extra dose of Christmas cheer!

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.
