Fazenda Santa Monica

Brazil can be full of surprises. From a third-generation farm in Minas Gerais, this Catuai 99 underwent a Yeast Oro 60-hour fermentation, a precise and controlled process where a specific yeast strain shapes the cup from inside out. The result is anything but typical: warm hazelnut, sweet sugarcane, and a tangy Concord grape finish that's rich and complex. Expect full-bodied sweetness in your every brew.

This washed Catuai 99 from Fazenda Santa Monica arrives via Yardstick Coffee with a warm, nutty profile anchored by hazelnut and sweet sugarcane notes, brightened by tangy Concord grape acidity. The washed process employed here typically emphasizes clarity and cleanliness—qualities that allow the varietal's character to shine through the roaster's development choices. This lot represents the signature terroir and processing traditions of Minas Gerais, a region long celebrated for balanced, versatile coffees suited to both espresso and filter preparations.
