This coffee comes from Grupo Guaxupe, based in Minas Gerais. The region has a well reputed specialty coffee production, and a certification of protected denomination for coffee production at high environmental and social standards.

The area is well known for distinctly nutty, chocolatey profile coffees. This lot came to us with a reminder of pecan pie and a touch of dark chocolate, and overjoyed us with its amazing balance in espresso. Sul de Minas soil provides a diverse nutrient base for the growth of a wide range of varieties, and that is how we ensure a uniform and well-matured production from farms there. The process is aerobic drying with a honey process for the cherries, which means a less obvious acidity and improves the sweetness and body, without heavy bitterness.

This coffee arrives in GrainPro sacks hermetically sealed to ensure that the quality of the cup is not lost during the year that follows each harvest. We ensure a stable flavour with this material, and minimise contaminants, and avoid temperature and humidity shocks during transit.
