Cloudland Coffee Company
Cloudland Coffee Company is a small batched coffee roaster founded in 2015 by our owner, Kristina Madh. Named after the beautiful Cloudland Canyon in her home state of Georgia, Kristina grew the business using the values important to her: Quality, Sustainability and Purpose. She incorporated these values into a philosophy that you will find on our bags: SAVOR, SUSTAIN, SMILE. 
Cloudland Coffee is devoted to sourcing and roasting the best tasting coffees in the world. They work both directly with farms and with importers in finding the best quality coffees. They meticulously roast their coffee in small batches, paying close attention to detail, so they can best represent these beans that the farmers worked so hard to produce.
They want to leave the world a better place for the next generations, which is why they are devoted to sustainability. Their decisions on where they purchase coffee and how they operate are driven by environmentally and socially responsible programs including USDA Organic, Fair Trade, Women Coffee Producers, Rainforest Alliance Certifications, and more.
By integrating these values into the company to help the community and the world be a better place for the farmers, Cloudland’s employees, and their customers, they hope that they will put a smile on your face.
