Context

Produced by Joaquim Antonio da Cruz in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil, this Red Catuai lot represents a focused approach to the classic profile of the area. The coffee is prepared using the natural process, a method where the coffee cherry is dried intact around the bean, which often contributes to a fuller body and increased sweetness in the final cup.

Roasted by Abracadabra Coffee Co., this "Darker Roast" selection emphasizes deep, indulgent characteristics. The resulting profile highlights notes of dark chocolate, fudge, and burnt sugar, offering a robust experience that leans into the heavier side of the flavor wheel. By utilizing the Red Catuai varietal grown at 1100 masl, the roaster has crafted a cup that prioritizes comfort and intensity, showcasing how specific processing and roast profiles can transform the inherent qualities of Brazilian coffee into a rich, dessert-like experience.
