China Premium Yunnan - Double Anaerobic Natural - Light Roast - 10oz

China Yunnan Black Sheep —  Double Anaerobic Natural
Yunnan Province · China

The vibe: We need to have an honest conversation before you buy this bag. One reviewer described opening it as being "hit with a fermented hot sauce smell." Another said it "teeters on the edge, seduces with a cheese-like umami bouquet" before blooming into fruit. Someone else compared the experience to a John Lennon scream. This is not a coffee for everyone. It is, however, a coffee for someone — and if that someone is you, you already know it. Torch Coffee Labs, one of the most connected specialty coffee operations in Asia, put this Catimor through not one but two rounds of anaerobic fermentation, and the result is something that has absolutely no business being this delicious if you're brave enough to let it be. Every family has a wild child. This is that kid. ☕🐑

What you'll taste At light roast this cup is a full sensory event — boozy and winey up front, jammy red fruit and citrus in the middle, then oak, spice, and cocoa rolling in behind it like the aftertaste of a really good adventure. It's potent, complex, and layered in a way that most coffees simply aren't. The lighter you go, the wilder it gets. The more you let it cool in the cup, the more the fruit opens up and softens the edges.

If the Wush Wush 96-Hour is the friend who shows up to brunch with a great bottle of wine, this one shows up with something they made in their basement and it's somehow... incredible? You'll tell people about it.

How it drinks

• Body: Fuller and creamy — substantial and rich even at light roast, with a satisfying mouthfeel that grounds all that wild complexity
• Acidity: High and crisp — bright red fruit and citrus up front, sweet-edged rather than sharp if you keep the roast light
• Best for: Pour over at a true light roast to let every layer unfold — this is not a bean to rush or roast dark. Give it time to rest after roasting. Approach it like the experience it is.

Who should grab this bag?

• You have tried a lot of coffees and you are genuinely ready for something different
• You love intense, boozy, winey natural process cups — and you want to see what "turned up to 11" looks like
• You appreciate oak, spice, and complexity as much as fruit and sweetness
• You brew pour over and you're not afraid of a bold, potent cup
• You want a coffee that starts a conversation — or at minimum, makes you stop and think
• Hard pass if you're new to naturals and definitely pass if fermented, boozy, or funky notes sound unappealing — this one doesn't hide them, it celebrates them 

The nerdy stuff
