This naturally processed Red Catuaí coffee is sourced from member farms of the Cocarive Cooperative in the Mantiqueira de Minas region of Brazil. Grown at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,300 meters in volcanic ash soils, the beans are sun-dried to enhance their natural sweetness. This medium roast offers a smooth, balanced cup characterized by notes of semi-sweet chocolate, toasted nuts, and brown sugar, with hints of caramel and berry. It is a versatile coffee suitable for various brewing methods, including drip, French press, and espresso.
