Catalyst Coffee Consulting

catalyst coffee consulting is a seattle-based green coffee broker and consultancy serving small and mid-size roasters in the united states. the business focuses on sourcing single-origin lots across brazil, colombia, ethiopia, honduras, indonesia, kenya, and rwanda without requiring full-container commitments, making traceable specialty coffee accessible to buyers without the volume to justify container-scale purchases. katy keisling, a q grader and q processing generalist certified by the coffee quality institute, leads green coffee sourcing and quality control. she holds a coffee trader's course certificate from the coffee trading academy and brings full professional spanish proficiency to producer relationships in latin america. the consultancy model extends beyond brokerage to include sourcing guidance and quality evaluation support, which can be useful for roasters building or refining their green buying programs. buyers working with catalyst can expect lot-level sourcing rather than blended commercial inventory, with a focus on quality assessment informed by formal sensory training.
