A Closer Look at Boochü

Yunnan is the center of coffee cultivation in China and has developed in recent decades from an emerging origin into one of the more promising scenes in specialty coffee, with broader variety cultivation and growing interest in more controlled processing methods. This lot is Catimor, a variety widely planted in the region for its adaptability and productivity.

The coffee is anaerobic natural processed, with fermentation taking place in a low-oxygen environment before the cherries complete their drying intact. This method pushes aromatic intensity and fruit character forward, expressed here through clove, orange peel, and mandarin, followed by a nutty finish. The result is a cup that brings together citrus, spice, and warm sweetness in a profile distinct from more conventional expectations of Chinese coffee.
