 We are incredibly grateful to have another year of Rosimeire’s coffees from Sitio Vargem Grande. Her beans were among the first to show us how unique Brazilian coffees can be, embodying what “MODERN” Brazilian flavours can truly be.

This lot is a mix of both Red and Yellow Catuais, as daily pickings may not yield enough to create a lot with the meticulous sorting at Rosimeire’s farm. Over the years, she has successfully experimented with various fermentation styles and drying techniques. This coffee was slow fermented for 80 hours in open boxes and then dried on raised beds, resulting in a cleaner and lighter mouthfeel.

This coffee presents a captivating flavour profile, dominated by the cooked acidity of blueberries, which offers a nuanced berry-like quality that is neither overly juicy nor bright. The body evokes the subtle sweetness of winter melon, while hints of nutmeg weave throughout, imparting a distinctive character. This coffee boasts a syrupy sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel, making each sip a delightful experience.
