California Catuaí Rojo has an almost Kona-like quality: it's a soft and sweet coffee with delicate notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and almond cookie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnopf Knoll Ranch sits in the foothills of Santa Barbara County near the beach town of Carpinteria, where a rare subtropical coastal microclimate does something remarkable: the region's cool ocean influence, relatively low elevation, and northern latitude combine to mirror the growing conditions found at high-altitude farms in the traditional coffee belt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee fermentation is something most people don't think about, but it's a critical step in the process of turning cherries into the drink we all know and love. For this Catuaí, we fermented the coffee cherries using yeast inoculation, a technique borrowed from wine making. We use a commercial yeast called LALCAFÉ INTENSO, developed by Lallemand — a company with deep roots in the wine and beer world — not to manipulate flavor, but to standardize our fermentations. This coffee was hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated to remove defects, inoculated with that yeast, cold-fermented for 72 hours, washed to bare parchment, and slowly dried on raised beds for two weeks to a stable moisture below 11%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatuaí Rojo is a Brazilian-bred cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra that is prized throughout the Americas for its sweetness and balance, both of which are on full display in this Californian expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FRINJ COFFEE","offers":[{"title":"3.5 oz","offer_id":47850452025592,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9325\/0808\/files\/knopf-knoll-ranch-yeast-washed-catuai-rojo-9112299.jpg?v=1768957808","url":"https:\/\/frinjcoffee.mom\/products\/knopf-knoll-ranch-catuai-rojo","provider":"FRINJ COFFEE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
