Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Bakers chocolate, cherry, vanilla, & syrupy Producer: Luciano Cordeiro Varietal: Yellow BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars. 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. Relationship Since: 2019 Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: “The kind of agriculture practised 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, something very unique from Brazil. This is Luciano’s first creation of a natural Yellow Bourbon. Pure, minimal intervention, and 100% certified organic.
