July Showcase: Mild | Curious | Wild 1x 250G - Honduras | Armando Guzman Catimor WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. (Mild) $20 1x 250G - Honduras | Javier Fernandez Parainema Dbl. AnaerobicAnaerobic fermentationCherries or depulped seeds ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks. Produces intense, unusual flavors — cinnamon, bubblegum, boozy fruit — that divide opinion. 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. (Curious) $23 1x 250G - Colombia | Finca Santuario Red BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars. Anaerobic Natural (Wild) $35 Roast Style: Filter Have you ever been into Aunty Peg's or Proud Mary Cafe and had a coffee from their curated Showcase and been like... "umm, so how do I get this stuff for home?" Before this, it was practically impossible. Be the first to try these mostly unreleased coffees. Dispatched: 14th July 2022 ------ MILD | CURIOUS | WILD - The Quintessential Experience For Julys Showcase, we've selected three coffees that really dial into the categories that they represent. From an elevated Mild offering from Armando - showing us how good a washed Catimor can be (a real staff favourite), to a forward-thinking double-anaerobic honey Parainema from Javier that won 5th place in the Project Origin Auction, and finally a very wild Colombian anaerobic natural bourbon that shows huge fruit and expression! A showcase that provides an interesting look into where specialty coffee is currently at - and carefully roasted and QC'd by the best in the buiz. Armando Guzman You gotta love him! Armando 'Mandito' Guzman is a man of consistency and true flavour. He works his modest farm mostly by himself, and at the ripe age of 58, he isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Despite Honduras being hit by hurricane Eta and Iota at the beginning of the harvest, Armando and his mature Catimor trees weathered the storms. In fact, he had a healthy bumper crop, and his coffee scored the highest ever! We take Armando's entire harvest every year, so this coffee is a Proud Mary exclusive. Javier Fernandez This man needs no introduction. Javier makes up one half of the Fernandez duo who have been delivering their sweet coffees to us from the town of Las Flores since 2012. Just
