A silky, sweet, and gently layered washed Yellow Caturra. In the cup: stone fruits, jammy pear, and candied lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFredesvinda farms El Cacao at 1,850 MASL in North Cajamarca, working together with her husband to support their family through coffee. She began her producing career with some uncertainty, but through careful plot renovation, infrastructure upgrades, and her partnership with the El Morito cooperative, she now produces and processes her coffees entirely on-farm with impressive consistency before consolidating for export through the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEl Morito — the same cooperative featured in September Coffee's Lemon Meringue lot from Felipe Estela — is a family farm cooperative formalised in 2022, designed to support producers like Fredesvinda through shared infrastructure, group consolidation, and access to international markets. The model suits her ambitions directly: she is currently planning to expand into new varietals, building on the strong foundation this Yellow Caturra lot represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow Caturra is a natural colour mutation of the Bourbon-derived Caturra variety, selected for its slightly higher yield and clean cup quality. At 1,850 MASL in North Cajamarca, it delivers the malic sweetness, balanced acidity, and silky structure that define this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at El Cacao involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Yellow Caturra cherries selectively harvested at peak ripeness 🔍 Sorting — Cherries sorted after picking before processing 🔧 De-pulping — Outer skin removed accordingly 💧 Thorough rinsing — Beans rinsed thoroughly to remove all residual mucilage before drying ☀️ Drying — Dried for approximately 18 days to optimal moisture content\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thorough rinsing before drying is the defining step — by cleaning the beans fully before drying begins, Fredesvinda ensures a clean fermentation slate that allows the Yellow Caturra's inherent stone fruit sweetness and delicate malic acidity to express themselves with the transparency and silky structure that define this cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA silky, sweet, and gently layered washed Yellow Caturra from one of North Cajamarca's most quietly impressive emerging producers — stone fruit and apricot sweetness, a balanced jammy pear acidity, and a candied lemon brightness in a light, silky cup with a sweet, clean finish.
