The Story
Since we launched our Brazilian offering a few years ago, it’s been an absolute favourite. So now we introduce our Brazil Clássico series, our seasonal Brazil. Perfect for those who like a reliable cup, a flavour that’s bold, smooth & sweet. These are characteristics we’ve endeavoured to honour when cupping for a fresh Brazilian coffee as we roll through the seasons. This lot has a big smooth chocolatey body, with notes of honey & hazelnut. We’ve noticed, this coffee also pairs well with alternative milks for those who favour their brews that way.
Southern Minas Gerais (or Sul de Minas) is one of Brazil’s most productive coffee producing areas. This region has grown Arabica coffee since the 1850s and is characterized by rolling hills, a mild climate averaging 23° C, and high elevations. While some of the largest coffee producing properties in Brazil are located in Sul de Minas, more than half of the region’s producers are small to medium-sized farms. Sul de Minas accounts for, on average, 30% of Brazil’s coffee production.
