Julio Arotaype
Introducing Julio Arotaype's SL9! This is an impressive coffee that has defined and structured florality, very complex stone fruits, and a clean and sweet finish. We've been really impressed by Peruvian SL9's recently and this is a fantastic example with many characteristics resembling delicate geshas but with loud and present acidity. We find these washed SL9's get even better with rest and this coffee will begin opening up 3-4 weeks off roast and peaking closer to week 8!
From SEY:
This is our second year working with SL9 from Julio Arotaype. Grown at the highest elevation of any farm we work with in Central and South America, this coffee delivers exceptional complexity. In the cup we find aromatic florality, layered stone fruit, and melon.
ABOUT SL9
Colloquially known as “Gesha Inca,” SL9 is a rare cultivar belonging to the Ethiopian Legacy group. While its exact genetic fingerprint does not currently exist in the database, it closely resembles SL09, which is why we refer to it as SL9. “SL” is in reference to single tree selections made by Scott Agricultural Laboratories in 1935-1939, and slight genetic variations from ancient, less well-identified references are scientifically acceptable. While SL28, SL34, and Mibirizi are the most widely grown cultivars from the SL selections, SL09—and by extension, SL9—remains uncommon in cultivation today.
Roast Date 5/12
