La Valentina Catuai Anaerobic Natural

About This Coffee

This Anaerobic Natural Catuai comes from Finca La Valentina in Panama, sourced through a direct trade partnership. The farm is known for sustainable environmental practices, including hand-based weed control, pruning, trimming, and fertilising to protect the local fresh water supply. The Catuai variety is processed using an anaerobic natural method, resulting in a syrupy texture with malic acid sweetness, featuring notes of apple and pear.
