FRINJ - YEAST WASHED - CATUAÍ ROJO (GREEN)

FRINJ Catuaí Rojo is a sweet and dependable coffee sourced from our farms in Southern California. This coffee is a crowd-pleaser with notes of milk chocolate, nuts, and caramel alongside some hints of apple and mixed berry preserves. It holds up well to a variety of roasts, showing off more fruitiness in the lighter hues and chocolatey tones in the darker. This is a varietal that can also work well as espresso—many Brazilian Catuaís are used for that exact purpose. Sourced from a variety of farms, this coffee was inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and cold-fermented for 72 hours. This yeast-washed process enhances the coffee's natural sweetness and provides a greater complexity of flavor, while also lending a more structured body. The beans were then washed and sun-dried over 16 days to a stable 10.5% moisture content before being milled, classified, and meticulously hand-sorted to SCA green grading standards. Catuaí Rojo is a cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra that was developed in Brazil. It is widely cultivated throughout the Americas and is prized for its sweetness, body, and balance.
