Why some details are blank
  • AVAILABILITYThe exact product page displays both Sold out and an Add to cart control, while live collection pages continue to list the product.
  • FIXED REGION, FARM, AND PRODUCERThe evergreen product rotates seasonal lots; Cat & Cloud identifies primary regions and multiple producers but no single current farm or named producer.
  • VARIETYThe exact materials state only Various, and cultivars can change with the seasonal lot.
  • POINT ALTITUDEThe page gives a 1,400–1,600 MASL range, so no single elevation is assigned.
  • HARVESTThe evergreen page does not identify the current lot's harvest month or crop year.
  • ROAST DATENo bag-specific or release-wide roast date is published.
  • PUBLIC SENTIMENTNo accessible independent exact-product firsthand tasting review supplies a verifiable score or review text.
  • OWNER TASTING INPUTNo owner tasting observation, approval, verdict, or score is recorded, so none was created.

From the producer

El Tejo combines production from multiple Colombian producers, primarily in Huila, Nariño, and Cauca. Its lots, regions, producers, and varieties rotate seasonally, so no single producer or farm is assigned to the evergreen product record.

From the roaster

Cat & Cloud is a Santa Cruz-based specialty coffee company founded by Chris Baca and Jared Truby that focuses on creating memorable experiences and inspiring connection through their coffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A transparent evergreen product concept: the Colombian lot rotates seasonally, while Cat & Cloud aims to preserve an approachable balance of fruit and chocolate.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Defined the rotating product

Confirmed that El Tejo changes lots, regions, producers, and varieties seasonally rather than representing one fixed farm or harvest.

02
Recovered the sourcing and process boundaries

Added Cat & Cloud's exact El Tejo guide: component coffees primarily come from Huila, Nariño, and Cauca, combine multiple producers, ferment 12–24 hours after depulping, and dry on raised beds for 10 days.

03
Structured the current offer

Added the official $19.45 USD / 10 oz offer. Availability remains Unknown because the exact page displays both Sold out and an Add to cart control while live collection pages continue to list the product.

04
Reconciled roast and sentiment evidence

Recorded Medium as an external exact-product classification because The Way to Coffee and Spro independently agree (Medium and 3/5). Removed the unsupported 5.0/5 marketplace claim; no accessible exact-product review evidence supports a public sentiment score.

What was added?

No additive is disclosed. The exact official materials describe a conventional washed process.

What wasn't added?

No fixed region relationship, farm, named producer, cultivar, harvest date, formal grade beyond Not specified, roast date, owner tasting score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now separates stable product-level facts from the changing seasonal components and no longer presents an inaccessible marketplace aggregate as verified sentiment.

What you might taste

Cat & Cloud describes bright fruit, creamy chocolate, nuanced flavors, and medium body; exact flavors can change with each seasonal lot.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-05) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Spro's exact page reports no reviews. The accessible Shop store listing shows a count beside Colombia El Tejo but not a verifiable product score or review text, so the prior 5.0/5 claim was removed. Seller pages, directories, and roast taxonomies were not counted as sentiment.

Until then, meet the people behind it:
