Cat is a product and graphic designer and Pierre is a composer, guitarist and a singer who decided to swap careers to drink coffee all day long with a purpose.

After training and working for many years as a specialty coffee barista in the UK, we were inspired to move into the green coffee trade in the country we love and know best, Colombia.

We now apply our expertise to find the best beans at origin, whilst matching European quality standards and building long term relationships with local farmers.

After 5 years trading coffee worldwide Cat and Pierre became producers in their farm called Cata Reserva in Timana Huila. It is a 30 hectares farm which half of it is a natural reserve. As exporters with a vision on traceability saw the positive impact on the producers farm like Nestor Lasso, today they became producers to carry on exchanging knowledge now not only from a exporter perspective but through a producers view too. Cata's attention to detail on regenerating the land with clean agriculture protocols as well as connecting with a community will benefit both ends production and roasters trade.

The intelectual part of coffee is fun, we want to share what we know, we want to learn too, we want to connect better for a better trade sustainable for all.
