Brazilian coffee can be boring. There, we said it, but those in the coffee industry may not be so surprised to hear this. Sure, they are the world's largest coffee producer, but most of this is the commodity kind of stuff that we don't like to drink, and even the specialty stuff can be a bit samey. Nevertheless, there are sensational Brazilian coffees out there, and our friends at Quaffee have a knack for sourcing them. That's why we're excited to try their latest release!
This coffee is a naturally-produced microlot grown by the Bachião Family, in the Nova Resende region, on São João farm. It received an impressive 86 cupping score (from the distributor, SMC) which is probably a reflection of the care the family puts into cultivation. They follow a methodology called Precision Farming that involves treating each part of the land different based on its specific profile and requirements.
Phaedon's tasting notes
This coffee is gloriously comforting, beautiful & balanced you could say. It's full of subtle but distinct nutty flavours and a sweet raisiny acidity. The body is surprisingly elegant: full but never overpowering. It's the perfect comforting cup of coffee for someone that wants something delicate. I would highly recommend it in a pour-over, siphon or AeroPress.
