Experience the cutting edge of Yunnan’s specialty coffee boom. This exceptional green Catimor lot has undergone a highly specialized ASD (Anaerobic Slow Dry) process. By fermenting the ripe cherries in oxygen-free tanks before a prolonged, meticulous slow-drying phase, the natural sugars are driven deep into the physical structure of the green bean.
For specialty roasters looking to add a truly unique, conversation-starting single origin to their lineup, this lot is a spectacular find. The extended anaerobic fermentation supercharges the bean's soluble sugars, promising an explosion of concentrated fruit sweetness and a dense, velvety texture once roasted.
On the cupping table, this lot bursts forward with the bright, vibrant acidity of Mandarin Citrus, beautifully layered with the rare, exotic, and honey-like sweetness of Ripe Loquat. Everything finishes on a deeply comforting, rich note of Caramelized Brown Sugar. It is complex, vibrant, and wildly unforgettable.
