Description
Brazil is a true coffee superpower, supplying the world and Europe with high-quality coffee for more than 200 years. Currently the largest producer of coffee in the world, a third of the total is grown in this South American country. It offers many varieties, three-quarters of its coffee bushes are Arabica. The specialty of Brazilian fincas, ie. farms, derives from their location and natural conditions, as the coffee bushes here grow between 400 and 1,600 meters above sea level, under ideal climatic conditions. The Cerrado is a vast savanna located at an altitude of 850 meters in central Brazil that has a subtropical climate that provides an excellent environment for Brazilian Cerrado coffee. The specialty of the Brazilian Cerrado coffee grown here lies in its processing: during the natural drying process, the pulp remains partially or completely on the beans, so that the coffee beans are enriched with special, fruity notes. Creamy, smooth, low-acid, balanced coffee often has notes of nutty flavor, caramel aromas can also be easily discerned at light roasts, and more chocolatey flavors come to the fore at medium roasts. Production area: Cerrado Altitude: 900 - 1250 meters Harvest period: May - September Aroma: chocolate, nuts, caramel Body: medium Acidity: low, lemony
