Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Chocolate, red apple, raisin, & juicyAcidityThe 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. Producer: Luciano Cordeiro Varietal: Red CatuaiCatuaíA Brazilian cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra: short, productive, storm-resistant. Sweet, mild, dependable — everywhere in Brazil and Central America. Process: Pulped NaturalHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural. Relationship Since: 2019 Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: “The kind of agriculture practiced here in Sítio Morro Alto allows us to keep the environment healthy using life that grows inside the farm. There is nothing here that comes from outside the gate. All the plants and animals play a part in the balance of this ecosystem.” These are the direct words from Luciano, producer and owner of Sítio Morro Alto. We first met Luciano in 2019, at an auction in Caparaó region, Brazil. Luciano spoke about his vision of farming, and it was captivating and real. The coffee was incredible, some- thing very unique from Brazil. Pure, minimal intervention, and 100% certified organic. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours.
