Our relationship with Cata Export began in 2019, at a time when both Cata and Sweven were still in their earliest stages. Since then, it has grown into one of our closest and most meaningful partnerships, built on shared values, trust and a mutual pursuit of quality.
Founded by Catalina Gutiérrez and Pierre Fargetton, Cata Export works closely with producers across Colombia, creating long term relationships centred around transparency, sustainability and fair value at origin. Through their work, producers such as Jhoan Vergara, Henry Bonilla, Franky Hoyos and Lino Rodriguez have gained wider recognition for their exceptional coffees and progressive approach to processing.
This coffee forms part of the Cata Project, our ongoing seasonal espresso collaboration focused on creating expressive coffees designed especially for milk beverages. Each release is built around texture, sweetness and clarity, aiming to produce an espresso profile that remains vibrant and characterful through milk while still holding balance and definition on its own.
Every release reflects a collective effort between producer, exporter and roaster, shaped through ongoing dialogue, experimentation and shared ambition. The coffees selected for this lot stood out for their layered sweetness, structure and vivid character, qualities that continue to define why this collaboration remains such an important part of our programme.
