 We're excited to showcase our NEWEST espresso option for you Home Baristas! This is a producer we've worked with last year after discovering them through our importing partner Nordic Approach. Fazendinha comes the Minais Gerais region of Brazil & Emilio used to plant Sarchimors which didn't happen to do too well on his farm. He restarted by planting new cultivars such as Catuais & Bourbons which were more common in Brazil. This was a momentous decision as he won a regional competition with his Yellow Bourbon. 

Over the years, Emilio has shown commitment to improving his coffees by building a concrete patio as well as raised beds to facilitate better drying. As most coffees are dried as naturals in Brazil, it was important that he made the improvements that has led to an increase in quality for his coffees. 

This lot is made up of Red Catuais,  a cultivar that’s known for its high yield & quality potential. This lot was dried on raised beds in thin layers, resulting in a fudgy yet clean expression! We love the gentle apple acidity as well as the sweet notes of macadamia, chocolate brownies & lingering finish of caramel. 

This is the perfect coffee for home baristas who crave that comforting chocolatey cup & is also incredibly versatile as a full-bodied brew! We hope you will enjoy Fazendinha #4 as much as we do!
