From the roaster

If you enjoy partying with our Night Shift offering, but you want to take that party even closer to second crack, the After Party is for you. Firing up the roaster and pushing full speed ahead for deeper, darker chocolate undertones and a smoky-sweet finish, we get to a happy place that reminds us of s’mores by the campfire. The specific lots of coffee that we bring in for this menu slot may change throughout the year as the seasons change, but we love offering a coffee with this flavor profile, so you can expect to see something fresh and delicious from Ethiopia on our menu for most of the year.

Cat & Cloud Coffee

Context

Cat & Cloud Coffee's After Party channels Ethiopia's rich chocolate potential through a smoky-sweet lens. The roaster's tasting notes—chocolate, smoky-sweet, and s'mores—suggest a roast profile that emphasizes darker, caramelized sweetness over brightness. This approach differs from how many Ethiopian coffees are traditionally showcased for their floral and fruity clarity, instead leaning into toasted, confectionary characteristics. The s'mores descriptor hints at a compelling intersection of cocoa, sweetness, and subtle smokiness, inviting comparisons across the flavor wheel. Cat & Cloud Coffee positions this lot as an approachable, dessert-forward expression—fitting for its playful name.
