Don Eli Natural Anaerobic Catuai - Peaks Series - ELI-02
$35.00
We're tasting
Raspberry, violet, bubblegum, vanilla, beaujolais. Juicy, lively, and floral.
Process
An experimental microlot, one of the jewel's of Jacob Montero's repertoire. This offering is 100% catuai separation from La Pastora, one of the highest lots in the region, at 2000masl. In fact, these cherries can see the Pacific on a clear day. They are harvested and transported to the mill before being rinsed for cleanliness and cup uniformity and stored in metallic, cylindrical tanks. The fruit ferments there for four days before being taken out, rinsed a final time and dried on raised beds in a mix of shade and sun.

In the Brew
Highly complex and expressive for an anaerobic. Very light roast. As a pour-over, it can take a bit more heat than normal. We've been enjoying a finer grind as well.
Filter · V60
Bloom with 50g and give the bed a generous swirl. Wait 45 seconds before pouring 125g slowly. At roughly 1:25, pour ~62.5g and then another 62.5g at 2:10. Look for a final drawdown time between 3:00 and 3:20.
In the Cup
Taste in Colour
Expect
Highly sweet and lively, while still reserved and complex. Red berries, bubblegum level sweetness. Soft touch of vanilla in between purple florals reminiscent of violet and lavender.
If it's not quite there
This is a very light roast. Let it rest at least a week. If it comes out flat, grind a little finer.
I lost track how many times I’ve ordered this coffee! It is a powerhouse of flavours that lives up to its description!
