This delicious lot from the Vinhal family is the outcome of Brazil's vibrant coffee culture celebrated in the Cerrado Mineiro region. This area, rich in coffee history, is famous for producing beans that stand out on the world stage, as evidenced by the farm's accolades in competitions such as the Cup Of Excellence Brazil. This standard of coffee is achieved by using cutting-edge methods and equipment to enhance the unique character of each coffee.
Rafael's extensive range of innovative post-harvest processing techniques has led to the creation of this particular lot, Pina Colada, which has been developed using a double fermentation, fully washed process. This thorough approach, specific to the Red Catuai varietal, ensures that the full range of flavours and aromas is captured and emphasised,
With certifications from Rainforest Alliance, 4C, and Certifica Minas, the farm's dedication to sustainable and ethical coffee production is undeniable. These practices show responsible care and contribute to the coffee's interesting and well-rounded flavours of sweet cinnamon spice, stewed rhubarb and dried apricot with a creamy vanilla texture.
