Origin and Processing

It comes from one of Brazil’s most recognized coffee-growing regions, where altitude, climate, and producer experience help create sweet and stable cup profiles. In this case, the lot is processed using the natural method, in which the bean dries inside the coffee cherry before milling. This encourages a greater concentration of natural sugars and results in a rounder, fruitier profile.

The result is a very approachable cup, with the classic character of a good Brazil, but with more nuance and personality.
