From the roaster

Klatch Coffee is a long-standing roaster known for its award-winning espresso program. They emphasize quality control and precise roasting techniques to ensure consistency in their signature blends.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Klatch says this blend was named Best Espresso at the 2007 World Barista Championship in Japan, where competitors represented more than 45 countries. The current product remains a documented three-component blend, but its farm, producer and percentage details are proprietary.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Component selection

Klatch identifies Brazil Yellow Bourbon, Sumatra Lake Tawar and Ethiopian Natural as the three blend components.

02
Separate roasting

Each component is roasted separately to develop its intended character.

03
Final blending

The separately roasted components are combined into the finished espresso blend.

What was added?

No added flavoring is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Component percentages, farm identities, producer names and most component-level processes are not publicly disclosed.

Why it matters

Separate roasting allows Klatch to develop each origin before assembling the blend, but the incomplete component disclosures do not support global farm, producer, variety or process tags.

What you might taste

Klatch lists sweet dark chocolate, orange citrus, wine-like berry and spice in a rich, syrupy espresso.
