This coffee is a Catimor variety from Yunnan, China, grown at an altitude of 1300-1500 meters. It undergoes an anaerobic honey process, which includes controlled enzymatic hydrolysis and yeast inoculation in sealed tanks for 9 to 14 days. The flavor profile features notes of lychee gummy, elderflower, and Calpico, offering a tropical and expressive quality with a creamy mouthfeel. This light roast coffee is characterized by its balanced sweetness and floral high notes.
Founded in 2020 at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic, Moonwake Coffee Roasters emerged from the passion of two former tech engineers, Ming Wood from Tesla and Mabel Yeung from Meta. What began as Ming's personal coffee project within Tesla's internal coffee club evolved into a full roastery operation after both founders chose to leave their tech careers to pursue coffee full time between 2023 and 2024. Moonwake represents a growing movement of technologists who discovered that coffee roasting offers greater fulfillment than their previous careers, channeling engineering precision into specialty coffee.
