In the cup, discover notes of caramelized hazelnuts, yellow plum and almonds, complemented by pleasant sweetness, a silky texture and gentle acidity.

Raquel Ribeiro Aguiar manages the farm alongside an experienced team, combining her family's coffee heritage with a dedication to careful production and consistent quality.
