Finca 1890 [Catuaí Rojo Yeast Washed] - United States

Roasted in France on September 16th

Grown at an unusual altitude of 60 meters under the California sun, this ultra-rare Red Catuai is the result of Frinj Coffee's pioneering work at Finca 1890.

Pushing the boundaries of coffee agronomy, this exceptional micro-lot benefits from a "Yeast Washed" process, a meticulously controlled yeast-washed fermentation that enhances the clarity and complexity of its profile.

A true geographical curiosity and technical feat, this Californian coffee offers a completely new tasting experience, celebrating the audacity of an unexpected terroir and the know-how of cutting-edge specialty agriculture.

The Altitude AnomalyIn the world of specialty coffee, excellence is usually found in the high mountains. Yet, this coffee grows only 60 meters above sea level! In California, the northern latitude compensates for the lack of altitude. Combined with the cool Pacific Ocean breezes and coastal fog, this unique microclimate provides the coffee trees with the cool nights necessary to slow the ripening of the cherries and develop complex sugars, recreating the conditions of the high equatorial plateaus.

An absolute rarityCoffee production in California defies the traditional rules of the "Coffee Belt." With minuscule yields and cultivation often practiced in the benevolent shade of avocado trees, the batches from the Frinj Coffee network are rare agronomic treasures. To taste this coffee is to drink the result of decades of research and passion.
