Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Cherry, apricot, blackberry & juicyAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. Farm: Elida Estate Region: Boquete, Los Naranjos Varietal: Cataui (red and yellow) Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed.

A feature in experimental lots, a defect in classic ones., delicious! Elida Estate’s CatuaiCatuaíA Brazilian cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra: short, productive, storm-resistant. Sweet, mild, dependable — everywhere in Brazil and Central America. demonstrates the positive effects of climate and terroirTerroirBorrowed from wine: the way a place — soil, altitude, climate, even neighboring crops — expresses itself in the cup, independent of variety and process.. Catuai is known to be a commercially viable varietal. It has a good yield and a solid cup quality. The Catuai grown at Elida Estate is cultivated in rich volcanic soils. The temperatures are low with lots of fog and mist which provide a slow maturation within the coffee cherry. This generates the higher concentration of sugars and complexity in flavors. The coffee trees are surrounded by native virgin cloudy rainforest. Elida’s Catuai is grown within the Volcan Baru National Park at 1300-1400 masl. It’s a mixture of yellow and red catuai and it’s packed with flavor! Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours.
