{"product_id":"b2b-traffic-naturalink","title":"NATURALINK ꩜","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee comes from El Morito, a small growing area in Peru, and is made from yellow Caturra, a compact varietal that tends to thrive at higher elevations. The region sits within Peru's northern highlands, where smallholder farmers grow coffee on steep terrain with significant day-to-night temperature swings. Those conditions slow the cherry's development and concentrate its sugars, which matters especially for a natural-processed coffee like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural processing means the whole coffee cherry is dried with the fruit still intact around the seed. As the cherry dries over several weeks, the sugars and pulp ferment and absorb into the bean. It requires careful monitoring: too much heat or uneven drying and the coffee can turn musty or overfermented. Done well, the result is a coffee with more body and sweetness than you'd typically get from a washed lot off the same farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow Caturra is a mutation of the Caturra varietal and is relatively uncommon in Peru. It ripens later than red varieties and is often associated with a softer, rounder cup profile. Traffic sourced this specific lot under the name Naturalink, selecting it as a single-origin natural that reflects both the varietal character and the drying conditions of El Morito.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Traffic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraffic Coffee was founded by Greg Lancot and Jessie Lewin in Montréal. The two had taken creative paths before coffee, and when they started roasting together, they made a deliberate choice to treat coffee as something more engaging than a daily habit. That thinking shaped both how they present their coffees and how they source them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraffic roasts in small batches and focuses on two ends of the sourcing spectrum: letting a clean, well-grown varietal speak for itself, or leaning into experimental processing techniques. Either way, they build direct relationships with the farmers they buy from rather than working through intermediaries. The Naturalink lot from El Morito fits squarely into the first category: a single varietal, naturally processed, sourced with enough specificity to name the origin and the farmer's growing zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Traffic's breadth of coffee is remarkable - from dark roasts reminiscent of your grandmother's kitchen, to wild co-ferments with tasting notes we admittedly have to look up. The packaging and the coffee inside is meant to captivate you, and I hope you feel the same when you try this coffee.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Dean, Director of Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Traffic","offers":[{"title":"2 lb","offer_id":45559233151036,"sku":"B2B-traffic-naturalink-907","price":65.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":45559233183804,"sku":"B2B-traffic-naturalink-2268","price":127.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/2880\/1852\/files\/naturalink.png?v=1781805780","url":"https:\/\/stillwatercoffee.ca\/products\/b2b-traffic-naturalink","provider":"Stillwater Coffee Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
