Chocolate, Nutty, Floral Medium BodyBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy. Driven by process, roast, variety, and brew method., Low AcidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. Region: Cerrado Elevation: 3,000 - 4,000 feet Varietals: Catui, Mondo Novo, CaturraCaturraA natural dwarf mutation of Bourbon found in Brazil: compact plants, easier picking, bright and clean cup. A workhorse across Latin America. Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. and Semi-WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Though great as a drip coffee, BlendBlendCoffees from multiple origins roasted or mixed together for a consistent, balanced profile year-round — the traditional backbone of espresso menus. 56 was developed especially for use as espresso or a base in espresso blends. La Minita combines natural and semi-washed coffees from select fazendas in the Cerrado region to make up the desired profile. The end result is a blend that is balanced and sweet, with fresh noticeable acidity, flavor nuances of clean berries and fruits, and a thick creamy body. Blend 56 shines in espresso preparation; it exhibits a flavor balance between punchy fruit and chewy nut, produces great crema, and has super long, lingering sweetness.
