Sought X Found | Ximena Cifuentes Caturra - Colombia

Now pouring from Calgary, Alberta — Sought X Found Coffee Roasters.

Pure. Fine. Ethical.

This is the coffee we serve.

We are a local coffee shop and roaster in Calgary, which started out of a passion for coffee, a very small dream, and just a tiny bit of courage. We spent a few years getting ourselves professionally trained in tasting, roasting, and brewing, but more than anything, it humbles us with the realization of how vast the world of specialty coffee is. We can only strive to serve our best, and keep learning how to make better coffee, and be a better ambassador for what we believe in.

We choose to present our coffees in a way that is representative of their true quality and character, and of the hard work by everyone who poured and risked so much into growing and finding them. We hope that by purchasing and showcasing good quality specialty coffee, we are supporting a truly sustainable trading practice for farmers at origins.

Founded by Caleb Leung and Kitty Chan, Sought X Found has quietly become one of Canada’s most respected small-batch specialty roasters, known for expressive single origins, meticulous roasting, and a deeply thoughtful approach to coffee. Their coffees are selected and presented with an emphasis on clarity, character, and the stories behind each producer and origin.

For those who appreciate coffee with transparency, nuance, and a genuine sense of craft, these are bags worth slowing down for.

We’re proud to welcome Sought x Found to KNIFE.

Ximena Cifuentes Caturra

La Esperanza is a 1.5-hectare family farm in Villa Moreno near Buesaco, beside the Meneses stream. High elevation, steady humidity, abundant water, rich organic matter, and cool mountain temperatures create a stable microclimate that supports healthy plants and consistently high-quality coffee.

Ximena harvests ripe cherries, sorts by flotation, and naturally ferments the best whole before pulping. Extended, mixed fermentation in moderate conditions builds complexity, followed by washing and slow sun-drying for 8–15 days to enhance clarity and flavor.
