What is it good for? We love a quality coffee from Brazil as they are so versatile. For espresso or any filter prep you care to think about this one shines.
dditional Notes: Brazil is the worlds biggest producer of coffee and we are increasingly seeing some excellent quality lots coming from single estates, we love to tracking them down and this one is a cracker!
This special extended fermentation lot is sourced from producer Amarildo Jose Borges and his farm Fazenda Paraiso near the city of Carmo do Paranaiba in the Cerrado region. The farm is 170ha and spans elevations of 1,000 to 1,150masl. To process this lot, the cherries were fermented for 72hrs and then sun-dried on a cemented patio this really brings out the funky boozy notes but it still has the dependable chocolatey notes we all know and love from Brazilian coffee.
