This coffee is a single-origin Red Catuaí variety from the Sítio Campestre farm in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil. Grown at an altitude of 1100-1140 meters, it is processed using the natural method. The cup profile features notes of milk chocolate and sticky toffee date cake, offering a creamy mouthfeel and lingering sweetness. This balanced coffee is suitable for both espresso and filter brewing methods.
Victrola Coffee Roasters was founded in Seattle in 2000 by Chris Sharp and Jen Strongin, and began roasting its own coffee three years later in a small back room of the original location. The company imports roughly 90 percent of its green coffee directly from the farmers and cooperatives it has built relationships with over two decades. Many of those coffees are shade grown, reflecting a commitment to sourcing practices that sustain the ecological systems where coffee is cultivated. That philosophy of equity and transparency runs through every part of the operation, shaping how Victrola approaches everything from producer relationships to the roasting process itself.
