Apollon's Gold PERU El Morito Yellow Caturro

Regular price HK$210.00

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.

About Apollon's Gold

Apollon's Gold originated in Tokyo. Since 2019, they have been continuously updating their roasting and extraction techniques based on feedback from customers, many coffee expert friends, and cooperative farms. They particularly focus on showcasing the uniqueness and diversity of coffee varieties and origins. They always pursue flavors that convey the characteristics of different origins and the individuality of the varieties. Special emphasis is placed on relationships with producers, sourcing beans directly from many of the same producers each year. In addition, they process only green coffee beans suitable for drinking according to each harvest season, thus achieving a rich and diverse range of coffee varieties in addition to the main origins.

Apollon's Gold's Caffeine is known for its unique all-purpose roast (suitable for both espresso and pour-overs). The beans are lightly roasted in appearance, but our coffee can be enjoyed whether it's pour-over or espresso, or even an AeroPress, Moka or Turkish coffee pot. At Apollon's Gold Kitanomaru, they serve the same roasted beans used to make espresso. From green bean procurement, roasting to quality control, all processes are completed at the headquarters in the city center. They only sell beans that pass strict inspection by their QC team.

The manager, Mr. Wilderness Jialong, is keen to explore the possibility of various bean flavors between light and very light roasting, giving them a rich and clean taste, which can relatively highlight the rich floral and fruity aroma.
