BRAZIL Mogiana Guaxupe

DESCRIPTION: A very fresh and tasty Brazil! Also VERY Low-acid for those with more sensitive stomachs, or just like it that way. Brazil Mogiana 17/18 is produced by farmers organized around cooperatives in the Mogiana growing region, split between the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Mogiana region is the most renowned of the three major Brazilian growing regions. This region has rolling hills and uneven terrain, lending to farms that are small to medium in size. As the world’s largest coffee producer, Brazilian lots often come from larger estates that use highly mechanized processing strategies to manage larger volumes. Our current offering is Fine Cup (FC) and Strictly Soft (SS), the highest cup category in the Brazilian coffee grading.

TASTING NOTES: The aroma is very nutty and sweet. There was a surprising hint of smoke on the palate. Full-bodied and low acidity – thick, creamy, nutty, and semi-sweet. At the darker roasts a very sweet first taste, almost a little fruity, and then quickly turns darker-toned with a baker's chocolate and slightly toasted walnut flavor.
