Description

Want some great coffees & stellar values? This bundle is for you! All very fresh coffee, current or new crop. Great premium screens on Co-op and Mill production coffees. Larger production coffees keep the costs down. Although these are not single farm micro lots, they are very tasty coffees giving the true terroir of their production areas and producing nations. A pleasure to drink and 100% responsibly sourced. This bundle contains 1 pound each of: Brazil cerrado 15/16 FC SS This Brazil Cerrado natural is a regional lot from growers across the Cerrado of Minas Gerais, the largest coffee producing state in Brazil. A lot this size is not tied to one farm: the coffee is pooled from many neighboring producers, most of them organized through local cooperatives, then milled and graded as a single offering. That is worth knowing before you roast it, because you are buying a regional profile that holds steady from batch to batch rather than the personality of one microlot. The Cerrado sits on high plateaus in western Minas Gerais. Its geographical indication covers 55 coffee producing municipalities, the region earned a protected origin seal in 2005, and in 2013 it became the first Brazilian coffee region with a denomination of origin. Farms across the region run from 800 to 1,300 meters above sea level and this lot sits at 850 to 1,100 masl. The calendar is what makes the place work for coffee: a wet summer and a dry, cool winter split the year cleanly, so cherries on a farm tend to ripen together and the fruit can dry without rain interrupting it. The soils are clay based. Tasting notes: The aroma is very nutty and sweet. There was a surprising hint of smoke on the palate. Full bodied and low acidity – this is a traditional tasting Brazil – thick, creamy, nutty and semi-sweet. At the darker roasts a very sweet first taste, almost a little fruity, and then quickly turns darker-toned with a bakers chocolate and slightly toasted walnut flavor. Great blend base for espresso o
