This coffee is a Red Catuaí variety from the Cerrado and Mantiqueira de Minas regions of Brazil, grown at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,300 meters. Processed using the natural method, the cherries are sun-dried on concrete and covered patios to enhance sweetness and body. The cup profile is balanced and comforting, featuring notes of cocoa, caramel, and toasted nuts. This medium roast is sourced from the Cocarive Cooperative, known for its rigorous quality standards and regional certifications.
