Catimor Quang Tri Coop - Brew Chart & Impressions
Catimor grows so well in Asia. The cooler climate at night makes for a longer maturation period on the trees compared to Centra America, making the coffees very sweet.
Catimor is a hybrid between the arabica caturra varietal and catimor, a hybrid between arabica and robusta.
This lot of probably our favorite of the four Vietnamese coffees we got. For having tasted hundreds of competition lots, David described it as ''it should cost more money'' ;-)
The coffee is super rich and interesting, with impressions of coconut and lychee. The acidity is lively and the mouthfeel is silky.
It tastes like liquorice and jujubes and makes for an incredibly sweet brew. It almost feels like those white sugar cubes we used to steal as children.
The coffee is also a little boozy in the finish.
A stunning brew.
