The total size of the lot is 84 kg, produced from a small, tightly managed plot within the farm. Roiber treats this section as a dedicated microlot, applying the same attention to detail found across his higher-profile varietals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Caturra lot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaturra has historically been one of the most widely cultivated varietals at high altitude in Peru, prized for its aromatic clarity, sweetness, and balance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Finca Morales, this lot comes from approximately 400 Caturra plants, producing a final physical yield of around 75%. While Caturra is often seen as a classic variety, Roiber views it as a benchmark coffee—one that rewards precision and highlights the fundamentals of good farming and clean processing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow was the coffee processed?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting is carried out selectively, with only ripe cherries picked. After harvest, the coffee is left to oxidise in whole cherry for approximately 12 hours, allowing gentle flavour development before pulping. The cherries are then pulped and fermented for 24 hours, after which the coffee is transferred to solar tents for drying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrying takes place over roughly 15 days, until the parchment reaches a stable final moisture content of 11%. Once drying is complete, the coffee is rested for 30 to 45 days, allowing the profile to stabilise and the flavours to fully integrate before export preparation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat Roiber wants you to know\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Roiber, this Caturra represents the foundations of specialty coffee. It is a varietal known for its sweet chocolate character, approachability, and reliability, and one that helped define what specialty coffee first meant in many producing regions. His aim is for roasters to recognise how careful harvesting, disciplined fermentation, and patient resting can elevate a classic varietal into a coffee that is both expressive and timeless.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Khipu Coffee","offers":[{"title":"30KG","offer_id":54932167852417,"sku":null,"price":474.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/0189\/0218\/files\/Roiber_with_the_refractometre.jpg?v=1763987833","url":"https:\/\/khipucoffee.co.uk\/products\/finca-morales-roiber-becerra-caturra-microlot","provider":"Khipu Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
