Established in 2013 by Frank Kavanagh & Peter Sztal. Cloud Picker is Dublin City’s first micro coffee roastery. We hand roast to order on the esteemed Giesen roaster. Borne from passion, curiosity and the quest to create a unique coffee product for the Irish market. While we roast on Stannaway Drive, Crumlin, our café is at 42 Pearse Street, Dublin 2. As well as our own café we also wholesale to cafés and restaurants around the city, nationwide and beyond. The name Cloud Picker came from their trip to Northern Thailand where they visited a coffee farm in the Doi Chang area on the Thai / Burma border, where they went up through the clouds to see the coffee pickers! It's very important for us as a company to know where our coffee is grown, the conditions of the farms and how the coffee pickers are treated. To do this we have travelled to origin since the beginning and in 2013 we went to Brazil and met with Felipe & Marcos Croce of FAF Coffees and in 2014 we went to El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Here we met with farmers such as Emilio Lopez of Cuatro M cafés. Since this, we have been importing from their farms. It is through this work that we aim for build long term relationships while also further ensuring we receive the best quality green coffee in the world. Our farm visits never stop, we chose to partner with coffee farms that are implementing sustainable practices, ensuring our industry remains current and adapting with the times. At the core of our business we focus on four principles: - HAPPINESS - We create a happy environment for the Cloud Picker team to grow! - LONG TERM - We seek & foster long term relationships whether you are a supplier or customer. - QUALITY - We buy quality green beans from traceable coffee farms resulting in a quality product. - SUSTAINABILITY - We build processes into our existing relationships and operations that ensures we operate our business in and earth-forward way.
