This torres Sanchez Anaerobic Catuai. This coffee delivers vibrant cranberry and grape notes with a smooth caramel finish, perfect for those who love fruit-forward, complex cups.
The secret to these bold flavours lies in the anaerobic natural process. After handpicking the ripest cherries, they are sealed in tanks to ferment without oxygen. This controlled fermentation enhances the juicy, wine-like qualities of the coffee. Once fermented, the cherries are sun-dried, locking in the fruity brightness you’ll taste in every sip.
Recommended Brew Recipes
- Filter: Use a 1:20 ratio (15g coffee to 300g water) to highlight the coffee’s clean acidity and caramel sweetness. This method delivers a balanced cup with subtle grape-like juiciness that lingers beautifully.
- Espresso: Try 22 grams in, 38 grams out, in 26 seconds. The result? A rich, syrupy shot with bright cranberry acidity upfront, followed by a smooth caramelized sweetness. Perfect as a straight espresso or paired with milk for an extra burst of fruit flavor.
Meet the Producer
This standout Catuai comes from Edilberto, a farmer in the highlands of Peru who’s dedicated to crafting exceptional coffee. Originally growing Catimor, he faced challenges with low yields and inconsistent quality at high altitudes. Thanks to local government support, Edilberto transitioned to Catuai, a variety that thrives in his mountain environment and produces incredible flavor.
His focus on natural anaerobic processing is a testament to his commitment to innovation. By mastering this meticulous method, Edilberto has unlocked the vibrant, fruit-driven potential of his Catuai harvest. We’re excited to share his work with you—enjoy the brew!
