    This Yunnan Catimor coffee has noticeable inconsistencies, including a mix of dark and light beans and some showing surface oils which may be a possible quality control issue. I decided not to deduct points and just taste the coffee as I am not sure what the roaster's intent is here.

    Despite these irregularities, the grind releases an appealing aroma with distinct chicory notes.

    On the palate, I get cherry, cedar wood, and nutmeg with a strong red wine character. The body and natural sweetness are robust enough to hold the cup together, though the standout feature is a pronounced wild Canephora funk, expected given the Catimor varietal's hybrid nature.

    While borderline undrinkable when hot, the coffee develops a unique and enjoyable character as it cools, with subtle smokiness likely stemming from the darker beans. It's unconventional but unique and interesting when approached with an open mind.

    Cupping Method:18:1, 92F from PDX Advent.
