Coffee Name: Royal Crown Jewel, San Lorenzo
Farmed by: Yulissa Chambi
Process: washed; anaerobically fermented
Elevation, if known: 1525m
Variety: Red Catuai, Typica
Date: 8/27/2022
Roaster/depth into 1st crack in min: 2:20 min into 1st, pulled 413*
Prep: Espro press 12 hours post roast
Comments: gorgeous roast, size 16/17. Well groomed.
-----
1. Fragrance/Aroma: herbaceous/caramel, chocolate
2. Brightness/acidity: citric, cup appropriate. Holds cup together well.
3. Flavor/depth/nuances: brown sugar when hot, white sugar as it cools. Very sweet cup. Distinct sweet cherry and concord grape on front of tongue. Very pronounced.
4. Body/mouthfeel/balance: round cup, med-heavy when hot. Silky. Coffee viscosity mellows to med-light at end. Best hot.
5. Finish/aftertaste: Finishes silky, cherry. Lingers.
Subjective Evaluation/Comments. An outstanding Bolivian find. Makes you sit up and pay attention to the coffee. Very clean. Though not a Catuai fan, this coffee is fine.
A washed coffee, posing as an immaculately clean natural. I didn't get the chocolates which Royal did but maybe that will come with adequate rest.
Grade: 87.9
