This unique Brazilian coffee offers unexpected juiciness and layered complexity, pairing lush fruit notes with classic vanilla sweetness. Look for vibrant hints of ripe berries and stone fruit, all grounded by a creamy, smooth body and a lingering finish that’s both sweet and bright.
Grown at Sitio Agua Limpa in the Sul de Minas region of Brazil, this coffee is the result of over a decade of dedicated work by brothers Adriano and Alex Franco. As third-generation farmers, they've taken a bold step forward in quality, experimenting with distinctive varietals like Arara and Red Catuai. Their recent adoption of ventilated static boxes for drying gives them greater control over post-harvest processing—resulting in a cup that’s more vibrant and dynamic than most natural Brazils.
Brazil is often known for its nutty, chocolatey profiles, but this offering challenges expectations in the best way. Whether brewed as a clean pour-over or pulled as a juicy single-origin espresso, it’s a standout that showcases the innovation and care behind every step of its production.
