A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: Yellow CaturraCaturraA natural dwarf mutation of Bourbon found in Brazil: compact plants, easier picking, bright and clean cup. A workhorse across Latin America. Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. Notes: Grilled pineapple, orange, dark chocolate, wineyFunky / lacticTasting language for deliberate fermentation flavor: yogurt-like tang (lactic), winey or boozy notes, overripe fruit. A feature in experimental lots, a defect in classic ones., & lactic About: Jorge’s natural Yellow Caturra is one wild coffee! Jorge has spent a lot of time refining his craft and upskilling by taking course on processing honeys and naturals. 2020 was his first year producing extended fermentation 200-hour naturals, a relatively complicated method but with huge flavour payoffs. This Yellow Caturra was fermented as whole cherry inside closed barrels for 200 hours before being dried as a natural on raised beds creating one fruity beast.
