∿CLOUD FOREST COFFEE∿ comes from one of the most biodiverse places in the world, where clouds collide with mountains in Ecuador’s Intag Valley region. Finca La Soledad, a small family-run farm, stands at 1,515 meters in a terrace rising above a valley.
In 2022, Pepe and his humble but masterful team produced and harvested an exclusive lot of washed Castillo for Honey Moon that was kept entirely organic throughout the process and manifested as plump, robust cherries shining with hues of red wine and deep purple stone fruit. A round, heavy, generous, chocolatey coffee, lovingly grown and processed by hand in a biodynamic environment.
Embrace the innate harmony of nature. “Cloud Forest” is an everyday cup, an ode to collaboration and direct trade, and perhaps just what you’ve been looking for.
