Brazil - Frutado

This coffee comes from Fazenda Rio Brilhante, a sprawling farm in Brazil's Cerrado Mineiro founded by Inácio Urban in the 1980s. The scale of coffee production in this part of Brazil can be enormous and the diversity of flavor profiles even within a single farm's production mirrors that in range. 

This coffee, which was produced by the Urban family in collaboration with Los Volcanes Coffee, has been consistently impressive over the last few years. Rich chocolate and ripe red fruits merge to create an elegant but cozy cup—we taste subtle notes of cherry and strawberry, dark chocolate, roasted almond, and hazelnut.

Produced by the Urban family in the Cerrado Mineiro region, this Brazil - Frutado selection represents the distinct profile of one of the country’s most prominent coffee-growing areas. Roasted by Partners Coffee, the lot highlights a classic Brazilian flavor architecture, balancing deep, nutty undertones with vibrant fruit characteristics. While coffees from this region are often celebrated for their consistent body and sweetness, this specific offering leans into a profile defined by cherry and strawberry notes, grounded by the richness of dark chocolate, roasted almond, and hazelnut. When evaluating these complex layers, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between stone fruit acidity and the savory, toasted qualities typical of high-quality Brazilian beans. This coffee serves as an excellent example of how careful cultivation by producers like the Urban family can elevate traditional regional expectations into a refined, multifaceted cup.
