What Vits der Kaffee says about this coffee
Ernesto Samayoa is the 4th Generation of his family, who have been farming their land in El Savador since 1913. He is the first generation to have picked up quality and start focussing on Speciality grade coffees. Not only that, with his Coffee Hope Project, Ernesto is helping other farmers to move into speciality coffee, increasing their coffee quality and, therefore, the price they are able to charge for it.
Yellow Icatú is a lab made hybrid of C. Canephora and Typica, created in Brazil in the ’70’s to be resistant to Roya, the leaf rust disease that has been a huge problem in Central and South America. It is called Yellow Icatú because of the bright yellow colour of the cherries, even when fully ripe. This is also reflected in the cup with lots of yellow fruits like star fruit, a shortbread sweetness and light herbal notes. Wonderful!
Thanks for the delicious coffees Ernesto!
Durch die besondere Aufbereitung der anaeroben Fermentation ist dieser Kaffee eine absolute Spezialität.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
Where each fact came from
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
