Apollon's Gold COLOMBIA El Placer

Regular price HK$160.00

Castillo is the result of a cross between the Arabica and Catimor varieties and was originally produced for quantity rather than quality. Of course, the breed has continued to evolve since its origins and is respected in its own right, but on rare occasions you'll get a Castillo that's better than all the other Colombian breeds. We believe this is one of them and we are very excited about it.

Fruity and bright, this coffee is an impeccable representation of the Tolima terroir. Grown at extremely high altitudes, the wine has a very delicate structure and a super smooth taste, making it a real pleasure to drink. It's super clean while retaining a subtle complexity, and despite being very bright, its unique sweetness is perfectly balanced.

In the glass we find a smooth, sweet body similar to guava and peach, with a very pleasant grapefruit acidity and brightness.

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.
