Region: Santa Barbara Elevation: 1650 masl VarietyVariety (cultivar)The botanical subtype of the coffee plant — Gesha, Bourbon, SL28 — analogous to grape varieties in wine. A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: CatuaiCatuaíA Brazilian cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra: short, productive, storm-resistant. Sweet, mild, dependable — everywhere in Brazil and Central America. Process: HoneyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural. Notes: Milk chocolate, honey, plum, & 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. About: Mr Ovidio 'Machete' Gomez of Finca El Paraiso knows how to grow good coffee. This is the first year that he has processed his Catuai using the honey method. As soon as we first tasted it, we knew it was going to be a favourite. Full of sweetness, balance, and complexity, with notes of honey, dark stone fruits, and winey, this coffee is suited for the curious types who like to try something a little bit different. This harvest expect some exotic flavours to shoot out of Finca El Paraiso and into your cups!
