  • CORE INFO

    TL;DR: his one is a bit fun and funky. Processed with care and precision from a community of farmers in Huila. This coffee is “designed” with a base of top microlot coffees, processed to give amazing layers of flavour. It will have you saying WTF in your head every sip.

     

    This coffee is the result of a deliberate choice: to understand the dry mill and the sensory lab not only as operational stages, but as spaces where flavor is built.

    Kaleidoscope was born from the close collaboration between all of the teams at CATA, where carefully selected microlots are separated and evaluated individually before being considered as part of a larger composition. Each coffee is understood as a sensory component, with a specific role within the final profile.

    At the dry mill, each lot is prepared with precision to preserve its structure, density and stability, creating a solid foundation for sensory design. In the lab, these coffees are cupped, analyzed and tested in different combinations, exploring how they interact in the cup and how their attributes complement one another.

    This lot is a washed-based composition, built around clarity, structure and elegance. The selected microlots come together to create a clean and expressive profile, where brightness, balance and definition guide the experience.

    This is a testament to the hard work of CATA, supporting their community of producers, and showcasing what teamwork can give us all.

    We've kept things on the lighter side for roasting this coffee. It requires a lot less "effort" to cook well, and if we do that, and not impart any extra flavours of our own, this coffee really comes to life, and sings in your cup like you wouldn't believe.

  • BREWING SUGGESTIONS

    We start with the same recipe for all of our espresso coffees:
     

    • 20g dose
    • 45g yield
    • 30 seconds

     

    From here we will tweak things to get the flavours to highlight things we like. Use this as your starting point and go wild!

     

    Note: some domestic espresso machines can’t use a 20g dose. Please always follow your manufacturers instructions to avoid damaging your equipment.
