Solis & Cordero Alto Canet Red Catuai Anaerobic Natural - Costa Rica - Espresso - 2022
On the nose: a strong bouquet of white flowers. Vanilla flower, gardenia, magnolia, sahlep, truffle and strawberry.
On the palate: Fresh, dried and cooked fruit flavors such as strawberry, raspberry, pink grape, dark cherry, blackberry jam, pear dessert, dried apple, and dried fig. Spices such as nutmeg, cardamom, clove, and black paper. It is reminiscent of baked, sweet and buttery flavors such as croissants and tarts.
This medium-bodied coffee has the sweetness of applesauce and is very complex. Reminiscent of oak aged Kalecik Karasi Wine.
This coffee was cultivated at Finca Alto San Pedro by Gilberth Rojas Monge. Red Catuai trees grow in optimal conditions at 1,850 meters above sea level in the Santos region of Costa Rica.

Harvest & Post-Harvest
Ronald and his family selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to Solis&Cordero Micromill. At intake, cherry is inspected and washed in clean water. Then, cherry is fermented anaerobically in sealed tanks. Cherry ferments for 96 hours. Following fermentation, cherry is laid on raised beds to dry. It takes approximately 14 days for cherry to dry.
