Berry jam and brown sugar on the dry aroma; sweet strawberry and ripe-plum fruit on entry; raisin and cocoa through the middle with a soft winey note; a round body; and a finish of milk chocolate and brown sugar.
Buying Tips
Natural process: Drying whole cherries adds clear fruit and sweetness to Catimor's otherwise plain profile — a popular process for Yunnan specialty lots in recent years
Harvest: Yunnan's main picking season runs roughly November to March
Region: Pu'er lies near the Tropic of Cancer, with plenty of sun and large day-night swings that suit sun-drying
Brewing Notes
Pour-over: Medium grind, 90°C, ratio 1:15
Iced: Berry and chocolate sweetness feels even fuller when chilled
