Description

This natural processed microlot from Brazil makes a fantastic shot of espresso. We roast it 15-20 seconds into the 2nd cracks (not as dark as our normal Brazil espresso roast) and end up with a shot of espresso that is chocolatly and creamy with tons of crema. When made as espresso, it has a rich, thick mouthfeel and orange sweetness, but no bitterness. You could drink 10 of these if you weren t careful.

As coffee, we roasted in to the verge of second cracks and it was one of the most drinkable Brazilian coffees we ve ever tasted. It had a full body, a similar orange sweetness to the espresso and had some chocolate or toffee. If you re looking for a single estate, single varietal bean for coffee or espresso look no further — this is a phenomenal choice.

This Brazil came from one particular farm and is all from the same varietal of coffee bush; Yellow Bourbon. It is very uncommon to be able to get that much information and have an unblended coffee coming from Brazil. At almost a mile above sea level this coffee is processed by two brothers and their families in the south-east of Brazil. They dry it under the sun on long patios. This is a mircolot so there wasn t much of it to begin with and it s extremely fresh right now. We got lucky and grabbed it so that our customers can enjoy this wonderful Brazil.
