Each month, Klatch Coffee highlights a select few coffees on our pour over bar, known as the Bru Bar. This pour over menu features three distinct coffees within our standalone locations, and two distinct coffees for our locations within Sprouts Farmers Markets across Southern California. For the month of July 2026, we’ll be highlighting three exceptional coffees, with one being CEO Heather Perry’s favorite for daily drinking, one that’s a seasonal exclusive, and even a Geisha.
Lion’s Pride
Featured in our standalone locations only is Lion’s Pride, a 50/50 blend of Ethiopian and Kenyan beans. African coffees are quite distinct in flavor, with Ethiopian beans often pulling out brighter, berry-forward flavor notes. Kenyan beans, while still fruity, are often on the darker, citrusy side of the spectrum. If Ethiopian beans can be represented with blueberries and florals, Kenyan beans are black currants and aromatic citrus. By combining these two types of coffees, we created a blend that's complex, vibrant, and brings out the best qualities of African beans. The Kenya provides the solid foundation for the coffee, with a wine-like quality and a bolder, syrupy body. Rounding it out and preventing the coffee from feeling too heavy is the Ethiopia, provided florals, fruit, a tea-like mouthfeel and texture, and a bright aromatic sweetness.
Though lions are strong on their own, they’re even stronger when they’re with their pride, each falling into their set roles and helping elevate one another’s strengths. Similarly, Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees both taste remarkable by themselves, but blended together in this 50/50 blend, they’re elevated to a whole new level. Don’t believe us? The Lion’s Pride is actually our CEO, Heather Perry’s, favorite coffee in our collection! Who would have a better developed palate here than a 2x U.S. Barista Champion—the first woman to ever win that title, and the first person to ever win that title twice?!
Lion’s Pride tastes great as a pour over, iced or hot, and as a cold brew.
Out Of Office
Pouring in both our standalone locations and within our Sprouts Farmers Market locations, Out Of Office is our summer seasonal blend, back for another year. This year, Out Of Office highlights two components—our El Salvador Cerro Las Ranas honey processed coffee, and our Organic Honduras Manos De Mujer Fair Trade washed coffee. Combining honey-processed and washed-process coffees allowed us to create a blend that has depth, balance, and complexity. There's a bright acidity and clarity that develops from the washed beans, and a syrupy body and natural sweetness that comes from the honey processed beans. This kind of blend is often very approachable, with enough sweetness and fruit to interest specialty coffee drinkers, but also the right amount of chocolate and balance to appeal to people who prefer classic coffee flavors.
Upon the first sip, you’ll experience the taste of a white guava—floral, with a sweet aroma comparable to a pear and strawberry hybrid. Once those guava notes begin to fade away, the next experience is strong, reminiscent of a blood orange. Slightly different from regular oranges, blood oranges tend to lean more towards raspberry or grape flavors, balancing well with its citrus tones. Finally, as the coffee cools and as the sip lingers on the edge of your tongue and taste buds, you’ll taste pomegranate. It's vibrant, bursting with a sweet tartness that can compare to cranberries, cherries, or grapes. Altogether, Out Of Office is a tropical exploration within a cup. As if taking you through the origins of each of these fruits—from the Caribbean, to Sicily, to the Himalayas—it’s more than just a coffee. It’s a breath of fresh air to get you through the long summer workdays.
Out Of Office is exceptional as a pour over, iced or hot, cold brew, and as an espresso.
El Salvador Jasal Orange Geisha Anaerobic Natural
As a special treat this month, coffee lovers can even enjoy a Geisha varietal on our Bru Bar in both our standalone locations and within our Sprouts Farmers Market locations. Though Geishas are known primarily to be from Panama, this Geisha comes from the same farm as the Cerro Las Ranas component of our Out Of Office blend, in El Salvador.
We have been a Direct Trade partner with the Jasal farm for nearly 20 years, since around 2007 when our Founder, Green Sourcer, and Roastmaster, Mike Perry, first connected directly with José Antonio Salaverría Sr. Over the years, Mike has built a close relationship with the Salaverría family, even attending the weddings of both sons, José Antonio Jr. and Andrés. In 2021, five years after Geisha beans they received from Costa Rica were initially planted, the farm's experimental Geisha trees reached maturity. As Geisha trees can take up to five years to produce, this was a particularly special milestone. From this first harvest, Andrés reserved a couple of bags exclusively for Klatch, underscoring the strength of our partnership.
This varietal often carries floral, fruit-forward flavors, and are often grown in harsher conditions—higher elevations, volcanic soil, and hand-picking and hand-sorting add to the coffee’s rarity and exclusivity. This Orange Geisha in particular boasts tropical flavors such as sweet ripe pineapple, tart red cherries, and sweet, delicate apricot. In addition to this coffee being of the Geisha varietal, it was also processed with an Anaerobic Natural process, which consists of fermenting coffee without oxygen. After the coffee cherries were harvested and cleaned, they went into fermentation barrels, left there for at least 90 hours. Then, they were removed from the barrels and dried on raised beds for 30-45 days. Just like wine, these coffees were forcibly fermented in a controlled environment, bringing out distinctive, strong flavors naturally present in the coffee cherries.
In 2025, this coffee was given 94 points out of 100 by Kenneth Davids with Coffee Review, the first ever publication to introduce the 100-point scoring and review system to the specialty coffee industry in 1997. Davids, who tastes hundreds and thousands of coffees per year, described the coffee as "a vibrant and well-executed rare Orange Geisha with lush fruit, high-toned florals and graceful structure, elevated by careful anaerobic natural processing."
Make sure to stop by one of our store locations this month to try these three coffees while they’re available!
