Description

Brazil coffee first and foremost shines as espresso. If you have an aeropress or espresso machine, Brazil should be one of the coffees you keep around, and since this is a honey-process Brazil, the crema it produces as espresso is unmached! 

This Brazil comes from a single estate (Fazenda Serrado) in the Minas Gerais region. It has a softer, less harsh presence in coffee blends, offering some notes of toffee, caramel, and milk chocolate, along with a full body, and not as much earthy character as the cheaper Brazils (although it still does have some earthiness to it). I like it roasted much lighter than other Brazils – not even to the second cracks (maybe 40 seconds shy of the 2nd cracks) for coffee.

I much prefer it as espresso than as coffee. It is all the Yellow Bourbon varietal grown at 3600 feet altitude.
