This Catuai Rojo processed at FRINJ grown at Knopf Knoll Ranch in Santa Barbara, California is popping with bright green apple acidity, white florals, and a milk chocolate sweetness. This is a wonderful example of what is possible with Californian coffee and a showcase of more traditional processing methods. In the cup there is fantastic structured acidity that is well articulated and extends throughout and is tied to a high level of sweetness that transitions into a milk chocolate note. This level of sweetness is characteristic to Californian coffees making the cup super enjoyable to drink!

For best results, we recommend you rest this coffee for at least 3+ weeks. 

From FRINJ:

Knopf Knoll Ranch sits in the foothills of Santa Barbara County near the beach town of Carpinteria, where a rare subtropical coastal microclimate does something remarkable: the region's cool ocean influence, relatively low elevation, and northern latitude combine to mirror the growing conditions found at high-altitude farms in the traditional coffee belt. 

Catuaí Rojo is a Brazilian-bred cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra that is prized throughout the Americas for its sweetness and balance, both of which are on full display in this Californian expression.
