This Catimor coffee from Yunnan, China is grown at 1300-1500 meters altitude and processed by Olina Cai at Project One Light using a yeast anaerobic natural method. Cherries are selected at peak ripeness, double floated for consistency, treated with enzymatic hydrolysis, inoculated with specialized yeast, and fermented in airtight containers for 10-15 days before drying for 15-22 days. Light roasted with tasting notes of pu'er, peach candy, and jasmine milk tea.
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.
