The Deets

Lao Xu Zhai Village is in the Yunnan Province in southwestern China. Yunnan’s mountainous landscape, rich volcanic soil, and subtropical climate provide the ideal conditions for growing tasty coffee. This particular lot is a naturally processed Catimor. Lao Xu is a sweet cup of coffee with hints of plum and cherry, warm notes of baking spice and chocolate, and a subtle herbal finishing note like anise.

REST IN PEACE

We recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
