About Me:
I own Catalina Coffee and Amaya Roasting Co. and I love coffee.....
About My Company:
Catalina Coffee, named after my mom, is my first venture in the specialty coffee industry. We constantly attempt to improve the quality coffee market by learning as much as we can and then passing that information on to the consumer.
Amaya Roasting Co. roasted its first batch on August 4th 2008. It is the next logical step for me to take control of the products that we offer at the cafe. With quality and sustainability in mind, one of the first agendas of Amaya was a direct trade trip to Nicaragua were we found a wonderful washed Caturra from Finca San Juan in Jinotega.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
I figured I could trust Paul he seemed like a good dude. Anyways I may be doing some trial roasts of my own soon if all works out. I'll have to kick some to you for feedback if so. How's are things in the lone star.
Congratulations on Catalina's continued dedication to coffee excellence. You have THE best latte in Houston. Keep up the great work. We love your shop.
