Apollon's Gold COLOMBIA El Placer
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.
