Description

Apollon's Gold is located in Tokyo, Japan From APOLLON'S GOLD "The Best ETH47" – John Vaz Matias ETH47 (an Ethiopian heirloom variety cultivated in Panama) is known for its unique and captivating cup profile. Our sourcing partner and SCA Academy coffee expert, John Vaz Matias, personally evaluated this coffee and declared it to be simply "the absolute best ETH47." Coming from a world-class expert, this is the ultimate stamp of approval. Cultivated in the Renowned "Duncan" Plot This exquisite ETH47 was grown in the "Duncan" plot of the legendary Kotowa estate, meticulously managed by producer Ricardo Koyner. Known for its cool climate and unique micro-terroir, the Duncan plot slowly matures the coffee cherries, resulting in intense sweetness, complex acidity, and a truly elegant structure that perfectly highlights the unique characteristics of the ETH47 variety. Roaster & Brewer's Notes These beans are exceptionally dense and hard, a true testament to their slow, high-altitude maturation. Through our final roast profile, the inherent flavors of the ETH47 cultivar are beautifully and accurately represented. The cup opens with a distinctive grapefruit body and vibrant lavender florals, perfectly rounded out by the deep, refreshing sweetness of honeydew. The flavor structure is so pronounced and expressive that even when brewed at a lighter ratio of 13.2g to 255ml, the cup remains incredibly vibrant and complex.
