Roaster Note
True to its name—Castanhas meaning "nuts" in Portuguese—this Brazilian lot is a quintessential daily drinker. It offers a classic flavor profile dominated by roasted nuts and creamy milk chocolate. The mixed natural processing enhances its body and brings a subtle, jammy dried-fruit sweetness to the finish. As a medium-dark roast, it is incredibly balanced and low in acidity, making it the perfect foundation for a rich espresso or a comforting, traditional filter brew.
Bean Info
"Castanhas do Brazil" is a curated selection from established farms across the Cerrado Mineiro and Mogiana regions, known for their flat plateaus and consistent climate. The "Mixed Natural" designation refers to the traditional Brazilian method of sun-drying cherries, which imparts a heavy body and deep sweetness to the bean. These regions utilize advanced harvesting and sorting techniques to ensure a "Fine Cup" quality, resulting in a coffee that is exceptionally consistent and versatile for specialty roasteries.
