Roast Style: Classic

These will be fuller bodied coffees that exhibit more obvious roast-centric flavours, like caramelised sugar.

While bitterness has its place in every coffee, there is enough of that in each raw coffee without us ever feeling it is necessary to add more of that through the roast process. For this reason, even our darkest roasts are still very moderate medium roasts, relative to the full spectrum of coffee roasts available in the market today.

Our classic coffees will make great espresso-based beverages, and they're a good option for french press and moka-pot brewing, especially if you like your coffee with milk.

Roaster's Notes

As a natural processed coffee, the lower density of the beans means we start from a lower charge temperature and use a slower ramp toward first crack. This extended roast allows the internal structure of the beans to develop without overdeveloping the exterior.

Naturals can have a more brittle cellular structure, which may result in a higher proportion of fines during grinding. In the cup, this contributes to a fuller, more textured body and a rounder mouthfeel. As a part of our ‘classic’ range, we’ve leaned into these qualities, bringing forward a richer, more chocolate-led expression of the coffee, complemented by notes of almond, marzipan, and yellow fruit sweetness.

COFFEE ORIGIN INFO

This release marks another season we’ve sourced coffee from Sitio Vargem Grande, run by Rosimeire Aparecida Guerra and her husband Carlos. Their small producer-owned farm in Mantiqueira de Minas reflects a long family history in coffee production, with both drawing on generations of knowledge in their work. This includes support from Carlos’ brother Tiago and his mother Lourdes Fatima, another highly regarded specialty producer.

They acquired the farm in 2009 when they got married, choosing a high-altitude site for Brazil, between 1100 - 1400m ASL, to pursue quality-focused production on just 3 hectares of land planted with red and yellow Catuai. Processed as a natural, this lot’s cherries were dried on patios for 5 to 7 days, then finished in a drying box over a 12 day period.

Altitude: 1125m ASL
Processing: Natural
Variety: Yellow Catuai
