This coffee is a Red Obatã variety from Sítio da Torre in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil, grown at an altitude of 1150 meters. It is a washed coffee produced by the Coli Siblings. The cup is clean, sweet, and creamy, featuring bright citrus notes with flavor characteristics of lemon drop, chamomile, and honey. This lot was recognized at the 2025 Cocarive Specialty Coffee Competition.
Founded in 2008 by Korean immigrants who opened their first shop on the brink of the financial crisis, Bean & Bean Coffee has evolved into a mother-daughter Q Grader duo operation led by Rachel and Jiyoon Han. Since opening the first shop on Rector & Broadway in 2008, they've grown Bean & Bean to four locations, now with a roastery in Queens, New York. Since they opened doors in New York City in 2008, Bean & Bean has been working to bridge the gender gap in coffee throughout the value chain. Currently more than half of all of our coffee is from farms that are owned and led by female producers.
