each sip of this offering is like biting into a chocolate wafer that’s been dipped in grape jam. Medium-bodied and not overpowering, reposado catuai is still bursting with delicious, approachable flavours. perfect as espresso, with or without milk or as an every-day filter.

story

this reposado process is a classic for the don eli family.


Ripe catuai cherries were harvested then left to ferment open to the air at the wet mill for two days before pulping and setting to dry in raised beds.


Marianela and Perry of Selva Coffee handle the export, and Trabocca handles the importation before it is freighted to Lulo HQ.
