Apollon's Gold PERU El Morito Espresso
The Discovery Purely out of curiosity, we attempted to apply an espresso roast profile to El Morito’s Yellow Caturra. The results were nothing short of astonishing! This experiment completely unlocked a distinct side of this coffee, elevating it to a richer, more profoundly aromatic dimension, setting it entirely apart from our usual "Omni-roast" style.
Even on the cupping table, the remarkable cleanliness and the full-bodied, multi-layered tactile complexity revealed by this roast profile left us stunned. This creation was simply too incredible to keep to ourselves – it’s a unique roasting interpretation that we sincerely hope to share with everyone.
The Tasting Experience This exclusive roast profile transforms the exotic character of Yellow Caturra, bringing richer fruit notes and refined aromatic expression:
-
Body: Full-bodied, juicy raspberry.
-
Notes: Subtle hint of cardamom.
-
Floral: A delicate daisy-like floral finish.
Brewer's Note: If our "Omni-roast" highlights the pure high-altitude terroir of the estate, then this "Espresso Roast" delivers an exceptionally rare, tactilely rich, and beautifully structured espresso flavor.
Thanks to the coffee's extremely high solubility, even with such dense, high-altitude beans from artisanal producers, you can successfully extract it using classic espresso ratios (1:2, for example, 18g in, 36g out) – an extremely rare brewing experience in the industry. For coffee enthusiasts eager to discover a new facet of El Morito, this is absolutely the perfect choice.
