INTRO
A natural SL28 from Ruru Estate in the forested hills of Pu'er, Yunnan, bringing a variety closely associated with East African coffee to southwestern China. In the cup: green apple candy, green plum, and calamansi.
THE PRODUCER
Ruru Estate is in the forested hills of Pu'er, Yunnan, where Liu Jingbo began cultivating SL28 in 2010. The estate produces SL28 in several preparations, including natural, honey, and washed coffees, and this offering is its natural process.
SL28 was selected at Scott Agricultural Laboratories in Kenya in the 1930s and is genetically related to Bourbon. It is known for drought tolerance and high cup-quality potential at elevation, though it remains susceptible to the major coffee diseases. At Ruru Estate, this East African selection is grown in the highlands of Yunnan.
THE PROCESS
This lot is a Natural: the coffee is dried as whole cherries before the dried fruit is removed. The page doesn't give further steps.
THE CUP
Tart and bright: green apple candy, green plum, and calamansi.
