Founded in 2013 by Frank Kavanagh and Peter Sztal, Cloud Picker is Dublin’s first micro coffee roastery. The name came from their trip to Northern Thailand where they visited a coffee farm in the Doi Chang area on the Thai / Burma border and went up through the clouds to see the coffee pickers! They’re not afraid to venture off into new coffee zones to find the best coffee on the planet to source unique beans and make sure their pickers are treated more than just fairly too.

This is our second collaboration with Cloud Picker, and this time we chose a beautiful washed coffee from Guatemala’s renowned (and tricky-to-pronounce) Huehuetenango region. It’s a light, fruity brew bursting with sweet plum flavours and subtle notes of cola. The combination of fruity sweetness and hints of nutty cocoa creates a truly unique tasting experience.

The coffee is from the La Esperanza farm, meaning "The Hope", run by Francisco Morales and his wife. Francisco has over 40-year experience in coffee farming in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. His accomplishments include two consecutive 2nd-place finishes from 2018 to 2019 at an annual coffee competition hosted by Primavera Coffee. 

Situated in Cipresales, the coffee grown on this 117 hectare farm benefits from the shade of Gravilea and Chalun trees. This helps to slow the development of the coffee plant and improve the flavour of the seed. They constantly change processing and drying and this resulted in a number of Huehuetenango Highlands coffee prizes. This year's coffee was dried under shade nets in an effort to improve the quality and longevity of flavour.
