BRAZIL

Brazil FT-FLO/USA Organic Sul De Minas Poco Fundo

date sugar, cocoa, nuts

Presenting a certified Fair Trade and Organic coffee from the Poco Fundo cooperative in Brazil. This naturally processed coffee is fully dried in the sun and showcases a sweet and clean cup. The grounds have notes of toast and almond butter. When brewed, the coffee exhibits distinct sweetness reminiscent of date sugar or toffee, with base notes of peanut butter and cocoa, complemented by very subtle hints of cranberry or orange zest. This coffee possesses a thick body, making it suitable for darker roasts used in espresso and milk-based drinks.  I use this as the base to the Honey Run blend, but it is fantastic on its own. 

Natural processed, patio sun dried, grown at 800-1300 meters. 

About Brazilian Coffee:

Brazil is the largest producer of Arabica coffee in the world and if you have ever had commercial blend coffee, you have tasted Brazil.  They satisfy the enormous market for commercial (low cost) coffee, but that is not all they do. I try to find good examples of both the fruit-forward natural processed coffees and the cleaner-tasting, nutty pulp-natural (also called honey) processed. Brazilian coffee is nutty, sweet, low in acidity and develops exceptional bittersweet and chocolate roast tastes. It is great as a base for blends because it sets a strong foundation of what people expect coffee to taste like.
