Context
Produced by Fernando Alfaro and Jose Enrique Gutierrez in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region of El Salvador, this La Providencia lot showcases the distinct character of the Caturra varietal. As a natural-processed coffee, it undergoes a processing method where the cherry remains intact during drying, a technique often associated with heightened sweetness and complex fruit profiles. In the cup, this specific offering from Five Senses presents vibrant notes of strawberry fairyfloss, peach bubble tea, and fingerlime.
When evaluating such expressive profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the bright acidity of the fingerlime and the sugary, confectionary sweetness of the strawberry notes. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavier, jammy fruit characteristics, the Caturra varietal provides a balanced structure that allows these delicate, tea-like nuances to shine through clearly.
