Luis Roldan Yellow Catuai - Brew Chart & Impressions
This year's harvest of Luis' yellow catuai is the best we tasted in 3 years. When you pay farmers well though a trusted importer and build meaningful and long lasting projects at origin, the quality will inevitably go up!
This medium roast is incredibly versatile: amazing black or with milk, it's equally good as filter and espresso.
What differentiates this year's harvest is the acidity. This coffee used to be all about nuttiness and sweetness. This year is full of white chocolate and macadamia nuts (hello subway cookie!)
The acidity is the most improve aspect of this latest lot. We taste crisp and vibrant purple grapes, and some stone fruits.
This gives the coffee a lot more depth without sacrificing any of what made this coffee our best seller last year.
A coffee you can truly sip from all day, everyday, and one of the most important coffee on our menu.
