Brazil Fazenda Café De Minas

A stellar example of a premium Brazilian coffee! Crisp, clean and sweet with floral, soft fruit and chocolate tones. 

Antônio Marcos do Carmo began farming coffee following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Originally from Paraná state, he moved to Cerrado Mineiro in 2003 to leave behind the nematode epidemic that was plaguing crops in the area. He and his settled in the municipality of Guimarania with the intention of producing high quality coffee.

Antônio farms 32 hectares of coffee across this 60 hectare property. He adheres to selective harvesting and careful drying practices, ensuring that the quality and terroir of his crop is brought to their full potential.

Lighter roasts accentuate the sweet and crisp floral/fruity tones while still presenting some balance with a chocolate like dark note. A little thinner bodied cup in the medium to low acidity range.  With the medium and dark roasts, the crispness reduces greatly and the chocolate like factor becomes very strong. The soft fruit tones retains at darker roast levels but mostly noticeable as the cup cools.
