Origin and terroir Hailing from the Serra da Mantiqueira region, this Yellow Catuai grows between 1080 and 1120 meters above sea level, in an ideal setting for growing quality coffee. Here, the mountain climate and care handed down through generations of producers allow for balanced cherry development, fostering a natural sweetness and a delicate but well-defined aromatic structure. Manual harvesting, carried out by experienced pickers, ensures precise selection of fruit at the right stage of ripeness. Processing Method The coffee is processed by natural "pulped" process, which combines control and enhancement of the fruit's sweetness. After a 26-hour patio pre-drying, a 53-hour drying in vertical driers follows. This process preserves the natural sugars in the bean and enhances the caramelized characteristics, while maintaining good cleanliness in the cup. Tasting profile Caramel Hazelnut Recommended pairings and uses Perfect for extractions that enhance sweetness and roundness, such as soft, balanced espresso or filter methods like Chemex and V60, where the most delicate and aromatic notes emerge.
