The world of coffee is interconnected. Our Klatch founder and CFO, Mike, makes annual visits to our farms and enjoys sharing the history of coffee, a journey that begins long before it makes its way to our roasters.
After collection, the coffee is put in the wash ditches and the mill is adjusted to leave some of the pulp on the coffee. The coffee is then put on the patios without being washed for a few days and then moved to raised beds until the humidity level is between 11.5% and 12%. We at Klatch Coffee were drawn to Las Mercedes because of its great coffee, but we found what we fell in love with was the people, the process, and our shared passion for persistently striving to make coffee the best it can be.
Icatu is a varietal of coffee that was developed in Brazil in the early 1970s. It is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, two popular coffee varieties that are known for their quality and flavor.
Finca Las Mercedes is a beautiful coffee farm with owners dedicated to care for their community, their workers, and the environment with the same care that they invest into their coffee. The Ortiz family provides healthcare, food, and clothing to those in the community that are in need. Las Mercedes is committed to ecological care, making efforts to preserve natural wildlife, to maintain compliance with our certifications in the way that the mill’s by-products are disposed of, and to avoid contamination. In the last few years, the Ortiz family has prioritized preservation by planting native trees. We are proud to offer this limited Direct Trade that is also Rainforest Alliance Certified. As part of our Direct Trade relationship, 25 cents of every pound is invested back into the Las Mercedes community, funding community sports programs and the Los Ortiz medical clinic.
