Embrace the Grey: A Caturra Thermal Shock from Colombia

$39.00

This coffee is sold as a 340 gram bag of whole bean coffee

This Caturra coffee from Colombia has undergone a thermal shock process after picking where the coffee cherries in a controlled method undergoes a rapid heating and cooling that dramatically effects the final flavor.  In this instance it has a strong strawberry aroma that when roasting gave me nostalgic aromas of a strawberry toaster pastry.  These berry aromas are melded with the herbal notes that are reminiscent of hibiscus tea.  In the cup the flavor is very delicate was an almost tea-like body complemented by a medium to low acidity that finishes very clean.  I get notes of berries and fruit tea with an undertones of chocolate. 

Variety: Caturra

Origin: Colombia

Producer: Sebastian Ramirez

Process: Thermal Shock

Importer: Macarena
