a natural anaerobic caturra variety from the 120-year-old el chorro farm in sta. rosa, a coffee-growing region recognized for cup of excellence-producing terroirs since 2022 well into 2024.
the rich and intense confectionary character of this lot is enhanced by mellow acidity, a hint of pleasant herbal bitterness, and sweet, juicy, aromatic attributes of ripe tropical fruit, as a result of the processing collaboration between the farm owner, mariano ventura, and raul rodas, 2012 world barista champion and 2024 world brewer’s cup competitor.
