We first connected with Wilford during a cupping session at Lamastus Estates - his meticulous approach to his shade dried naturals stood out immediately. This is his Catuai - processed as a classic Natural, where grown at over 1600m it matures slowly, and ripens well, giving us a lot of sweetness in the cup. The Panama terroir really makes this Catuai shine!
Cherries are hand‑picked at peak ripeness, and then dried slowly on raised beds to preserve clarity. This gentle dehydration allows the fruit‑forward sweetness to deepen without overwhelming the varietal’s expression.
This coffee is a classic Panama Catuai - don't expect the intensity of Geisha, but it's got great sweetness, and flavour clarity - something we really had to work for during the roasting and sorting of this coffee. It arrived with many quakers, so we have done extensive sorting of this lot to reduce chocolatey and nutty notes in this Catuai, bringing up the brighter fruity expression. .
