Brazil Cerrado

Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate · Roasted Almond · Caramel

From the high plateaus of Cerrado, Brazil, comes a naturally processed coffee that delivers a smooth, full-bodied cup with deep sweetness. Sun-dried cherries lend rich notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, finishing with a soft caramel sweetness.

The Cerrado region's defined wet and dry seasons create ideal conditions for natural processing — producing coffees celebrated for their balance, low acidity, and creamy mouthfeel.

About The Origin

The Cerrado Mineiro is a high, largely flat savanna plateau in north-western Minas Gerais, with coffee grown from about 800 m upward across some 210,000 hectares in 55 municipalities. Its seasons are sharply defined, hot and wet in summer, mild and dry in winter, so cherries ripen evenly and dry well in the open during the May-September harvest, and the flat ground allows mechanised picking. It gained a geographical indication in 2005 and in 2013 became Brazil's first coffee Designation of Origin. Its coffees are known for nut, caramel and chocolate with moderate-to-full body and are a staple of espresso blends.
