[A Word from the Roaster]
Mild and creamy, with the flavor of almonds and a rich sweetness like fully ripened fruit. This is a signature Brazil.
An Acaiá varietal, carefully grown at Carmo Estate in the Carmo de Minas district of Minas Gerais. Here the easygoing generosity of natural processing lives alongside the delicacy that only a small-scale micro-lot can offer.
As the cup meets your lips, a round, nutty sweetness spreads across the palate. There is the lush juiciness of biting into ripe fruit, and a sweetness carried by a deep savory quality. The acidity is gentle, and a soft, lingering finish continues long after the coffee has cooled.
Ideal for a morning cup or an easy afternoon moment. A cup that keeps quiet company through your days, recommended even for those who find acidity difficult.
[Origin Information]
Carmo Estate sits in the Carmo de Minas district of Minas Gerais, the state where many of Brazil's leading coffee farms are gathered. It lies in an area blessed with fertile soil, a favorable climate, and abundant water sources. This lot was processed by the natural method; the varietal is Acaiá, and it comes from a small-scale micro-lot on a plot at 1,150m. It is defined by a round mouthfeel and a nutty character.
Túlio, the fifth-generation head of Carmo Estate, advances the education of producers and the introduction of new equipment in his pursuit of high-quality coffee. He also devotes tireless effort to environmentally conscious work such as the farm's tree-planting project and to improving the living conditions of farm workers, providing schools, a clinic, and housing so that producers can devote themselves to producing high-quality coffee.
[Tasting Notes]
A gentle, deep flavor in which the toastiness of almonds and nuts layers with the sweetness of fully ripened fruit. A creamy texture spreads across the palate, along with a restrained yet firmly centered sweetness, almost a savory depth. As the cup cools, a growing mellowness carries a sense of calm.
