    This blend is the result of a meticulous collaboration between Cata Export and the passionate coffee growers of Salado Blanco, Huila. At Cata Export, a dedicated team carefully hand-selects the finest Caturra coffees, crafting a blend that stands out for its exceptional quality and character. Unlike many Colombian producers, Cata Export employs an exclusive husking process, utilising advanced, custom-designed equipment that includes pixel selection, density grading, and screen sorting. This precise approach minimises waste and ensures a product of unparalleled quality, tailored specifically for European customers.

    Working closely with the skilled and friendly producers from Salado Blanco, each farm—Los Naranjos, Buena Vista, La Fortuna, and Villa del Rio—contributes its unique varietals and processing techniques. This rich regional diversity is what makes the blend truly special, capturing the distinctive essence of Salado Blanco. Every cup reflects the collective effort and dedication of these farms, offering a taste experience that is both unique and deeply rooted in the vibrant coffee culture of this extraordinary region.

    Countries of operation Colombia
    Established date 2019

    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.
