Yellow

Tasting notes

About this bean

Yellow is a medium roast from SUBMARINE, sourced from Желтый бурбон, Катукаи. It features the Желтый бурбон, катукаи variety, processed using the natural method. Natural processing dries the bean inside the whole cherry, which often imparts fruit-forward sweetness and a heavier body. Results can vary widely between farms. Medium roasts balance origin character with developed sweetness from caramelisation. They are generally the most forgiving roast level for espresso. The roaster lists tasting notes of Яблоко, Орех and Карамель. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 22 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.0 out of 10 across 22 ratings.
