The CloudForest Story

CloudForest Coffee is based in Ottawa, and our Roastery is in Hull, Quebec. We import coffee from the Intag, a beautiful valley in the Ecuadorian Andes.

The community we source all of our coffee from, has been struggling against mineral exploration for 20 years. They have created a vision of development that does not include mining.

Their vision includes a healthy environment, safe sources of water, and harmony in their communities. Instead of allowing mining companies to devastate their pristine environment, many are pursuing different methods of economic growth. They have chosen to grow organic coffee, and we have chosen to support them on their quest.

Reviews from fans of CloudForest Coffee

Amaizing coffee and excellent customer service!

Jennier Machado

Excellent selection of fair trade coffee. The business partners with the farmers as well!

Cesar Morales

It had been a long time since I had a good specialty coffee...

…and Cloudforest was perfect. Double shot of espresso had a nice texture, a good crema on top and was well balanced.

Ryan Neville

Best coffee in town hands down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Cloudforest coffee come from?

Our coffee is cultivated in the Rio Intag region of Ecuador. Located on the western slopes of the Andes, the Intag is one of the last remaining coastal rainforests in Ecuador. All of our coffee comes from AACRI, a cooperative that was formed to help the coffee farmers improve their livelihoods. We buy our coffee directly from the farmers, with no middle-men, to ensure they get the best possible price for their coffee.

How many roasts
do you have now?

We now have five roasts: golden, medium, espresso, dark, extra dark. We have grown the number of roast profiles to showcase how many different tastes you can get out of the same single origin coffee bean. Do you love fruity light roasts? Try the golden roast! Do you prefer daringly bold brew full of chocolatey goodness? Try the extra dark!

Which roast did Cloudforest Coffee
start with?

We started with just the medium and dark roast, to keep things simple and to showcase how different the same coffee can taste. The medium roast is a sweeter, brighter flavour profile with hints of caramel, nuts and amaretto. When we roast the coffee darker a wonderful chocolate flavor develops.

Why was
Cloudforest
started?

The communities of the Rio Intag region of Ecuador have been resisting against mining companies for over 20 years. They have educated themselves about the risks to the environment posed by large scale open-pit mining, and have decided that it’s not the best development strategy for their community. They started an organic coffee cooperative to show that their can be other types of development in their region that are more sustainable than mining. We started Cloudforest coffee to help sell their coffee in Canada and to use the coffee as a vessel to tell the story of a community striving to create a sustainable and prosperous future without destroying the environment.
