Inside the Can

Brazilian Cake Lady

Origin: Brazil Region: Mantiqueira de Minas Roast: Medium Tasting Notes: Lychee, Honeydew, Nougat

A longtime Red Bay favorite, Brazilian Cake Lady is smooth, balanced, and naturally sweet, with bright fruit notes complemented by a soft, nougat-like finish.

The MoAD X RBC Collaboration Tin Can represents a unique partnership featuring beans sourced from the Mantiqueira de Minas region of Brazil. This specific offering, roasted by Red Bay Coffee, highlights the distinct profile of the area, presenting a cup characterized by notes of lychee, honeydew, and nougat.

When exploring coffees from this region, enthusiasts often look for a balance between sweetness and acidity. While individual lots vary, identifying these specific flavor markers can be a rewarding exercise in sensory development. To better understand how these descriptors fit into a broader spectrum of coffee profiles, drinkers may find it helpful to consult a flavor wheel. By mapping the delicate fruit tones of lychee and honeydew against the richer, confectionary base of nougat, one can gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in this collaboration.
