Story
This light roast features roasted hazelnut and vanilla aromas. When sipped, it has a note of candied pecan with milk chocolate sweetness. Its body is smooth with peach acidity, and the finish is pleasantly reminiscent of powdered cocoa.
The Story
This pulped natural processed lot is made up of two varietals. Catuai 62 is a sub-cultivar of Yellow Catuai—a hybrid of Caturra and Mundo Novo. Yellow Catuai is a shorter shrub that is highly productive. Its cherries mature slowly, producing a sweet, small-sized bean.
IAC 125 RN is a relatively new cultivar released by the Agronomy Institute of Campinas. Its size is small with large cherries, creating a considerable amount of mucilage. This is beneficial to the natural and pulped natural process.
This lot was carefully fermented and slowly sun-dried on raised beds, giving it a smooth body and brighter acidity than is typically found in pulped natural Brazil coffees.
