SOIL ROASTERS – China Boochu | Anaerobic Natural | 250g

Soil – China Boochu | Anaerobic Natural | 250g

Soil China Boochu is a distinctive Chinese specialty coffee from Yunnan, a region that has rapidly developed a reputation for producing increasingly experimental and expressive specialty coffees. This lot is produced from the Catimor variety and grown at approximately 1,100–1,500 MASL. It undergoes an anaerobic natural process, combining the fruit-drying character of natural processing with controlled fermentation to create a more pronounced and complex cup.

The profile is built around clove, orange peel, mandarin, and nuts, giving the coffee an unusual combination of warm spice, citrus brightness, and nutty sweetness. The anaerobic natural processing adds fermentation-driven complexity while the citrus and spice notes keep the cup lively and aromatic. Soil lists Boochu among its espresso and black-coffee offerings, and the roastery also provides dedicated hot and iced brewing recipes through XBloom.
