Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Red plum, apricot, brown sugar & silky 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. Region: Cerrado Mineiro Process: Pulp 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. Recipe: Espresso - 1:2.5 Filter - 1:17 About the farm: São Luiz Estate is a coffee farm that's both steeped in history, and embraces modernity; with a centuries old agricultural tradition, and more than five decades in the coffee industry. The team at São Luiz Estate are blazing a trail in a young Brazilian coffee producing region, Cerrado Mineiro. Manoel Velloso dos Reis; a visionary, took over his father's land and imagined the potential for a new business: coffee in the 1960s. Later, his son Fausto do Espírito Santo Velloso, began investing in quality coffee. Currently, Fausto's daughter, Ana Cecilia Velloso is managing the farm. In Ana’s words “Lucio and me are in charge of the management of the farm, with the responsibilty of perpetuating this legacy through our young and innovative spirit, passion and enthusiasm. We produce high quality specialty coffees based on a model orientated to the valuation of people, in a true and transparent relationship with our customers and in constant search for new technologies and process efficiency”. It’s no surprise this coffee caught out attention and made it onto our list of favorite microlots offerings for this harvest.
