Apollon's Gold PERU El Morito Yellow Caturro
We are very pleased to introduce you to Finca El Morito from Peru, our newest friend and partner. We have been in talks with them since May last year, when we were impressed by their samples. During SCAJ 2024, they visited Tokyo and we were able to meet with them and agreed to collaborate this spring!
All of the samples we tried last summer and during SCAJ were very impressive, but this batch, which they call “Yellow Catullo,” was especially unique. According to El Morito, this "Yellow Caturro" is an outlier of the Yellow Caturra, with the flavor of this batch being more vibrant and tropical than usual, almost similar to what you'd expect from a high-grown Geisha.
In the cup we discover notes of sweet passion fruit that quickly transform into vibrant red grape aromas with a hint of lavender flowers.
Degassing method
We recommend degassing your coffee for a minimum of 35 days and a maximum of 70 days.
Our all-around roasting method results in unusually long degassing times, but trust us, once your coffee is properly degassed, you’ll be able to enjoy delicious flavor.
*Please make sure not to vacuum or freeze the coffee before it is fully degassed.
