Josh’s notes:
Nitro Caturra from a new roaster!
We actually have three different Nitro Caturras on offer currently. These are all the same coffee, but roasted by different roasters. They all taste distinct from one another! Amazing what roast profile can do.
In comparison to the Glitch and Raw Sugar roasts of this coffee, Thoughtful’s profile favors the orange melon flavorscape. Particularly this coffee has strong flavors of cantaloupe. Specifically, I get Yubari Melon (a variety of fancy Japanese melon). Like the other Nitro Caturras, this coffee is also sweet with a tea-like body. This is an A+ coffee that’s sure to impress pretty much anyone; even non-coffee folk!
Thoughtful’s notes:
“In my opinion, the most interesting coffee of the year in 2024.
In the nitro washed process, ripe coffee cherries undergo embryonic stress, causing controlled temperature fluctuations down to 12°C to maintain optimal conditions for processing.
After pulping, the beans are placed in a bioreactor, where they are inoculated with yeast, bacteria, and fruit (watermelon + passionfruit) must. The sealed bioreactor is injected with nitrogen, promoting microbial metabolism. Throughout fermentation, temperature, acidity, and Brix levels are carefully tracked against past data to determine the ideal endpoint before initiating oxidation.
Post-fermentation, the beans are dried in solar dryers until they reach 40% moisture, then finished in mechanical dryers to achieve 10-12% moisture. After drying, they rest for 45 days in a warehouse before hulling and export preparation.”
Roast:
Roasted light and spectacularly by our friends at thoughtfulcoffee in Brooklyn, New York, rested for 7 days, then vacuum packed and frozen. I recommend enjoying this coffee right away.
