IN THE CUP
This coffee from Santa Monica in Minas Gerais is nothing like any other Brazillian coffees you've ever tasted before. It is mellow but yet sweet and complex like your favourite bottle of pinot noir. As it cools down, you can expect to taste juicy ripe mango and slightly sweeten macadamia.
STORY BEHIND THE CUP
Located in the Alta Mogiana region, the farm is within 3 different municipalities: Ibiraci, Cassia and Capetinga. At Ibiraci, Jean focuses 100% on high grade specialty coffee, having separated driers for micro-lots only and 6000 m2 of raised beds.
For this lot, Jean kept the coffee fermenting in laid barrels with specific strain of yeast. Under this controlled environment, the yeast fermentation adds in alcoholic like flavours.
