Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: 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 Farm: El Jardin Varietal: 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. Relationship Since: 2020 Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 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 flavor 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. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends. Orders: placed by 8.00am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.00am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
