Apollon's Gold COLOMBIA Norbey Quimabyo Papayo

Sale price HK$200.00

This is our first release in the Papayo series. Although we had heard about this rare variety and it was relatively new to the market, it was difficult to find the classic Papayo brewing method, so we jumped at the chance when we cupped a sample.

We find the Papayo variety to be quite unique in its acidity, particularly in the tartness, accompanied by a distinct tart fruit flavor. On the palate, you get a vibrant and juicy mango aroma, followed by an exotic umeboshi (Japanese plum) and tart raspberry flavors on the finish.

Degassing method
We recommend degassing your coffee for a minimum of 35 days and a maximum of 70. Our coffee is typically at its best around 45 and 60 days after roasting, and is at its best tasting between now and 90 days.

Our roasting methods result in unusually long degassing times, but trust us, once your coffee is properly degassed, you'll enjoy delicious flavor.

*Please ensure that the coffee is fully degassed before vacuum packing or freezing.

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.
