Flavor Profile

Brewing Methods

Brazil Fazenda do Cruzeiro is a naturally processed Yellow Catucai lot from the historic (1923-founded) Fazenda do Cruzeiro in Santo Antônio do Amparo, Campo das Vertentes, grown at 905-1,160 m a.s.l. and part of the Sancoffee cooperation. Whole ripe yellow cherries are patio-dried for 20-25 days for maximum sweetness, low acidity, and a velvety, full body. On filter it's smooth with light candied-fruit, sultana, and dried-fig acidity, dominated by milk chocolate and nut butter; on espresso the body turns heavier with dark-chocolate bitterness, nougat sweetness, and raisin notes. Sourced through Cafe Imports, roasted omni-style for both filter and espresso.
