An annual classic produced by the San Coffee cooperative, blending precisely calibrated lots from 20 leading farmers across the Campo das Vertentes region. This lot is specifically crafted to deliver the roundest, sweetest, and cleanest “classical” Brazilian cup profile. Free from the heavy, peanutty, or stalky notes often found in commercial blends, it drinks like pure melted milk chocolate with a smooth, brown-sugar sweetness.
An excellent everyday coffee that shines beautifully in both filter methods and modern, sweet espresso.

Brewing Recommendations
In espresso, it yields a thick crema and deep chocolatey sweetness (recommended ratio 1:2 to 1:2.2). In pour-over methods (V60, Aeropress), it provides a highly transparent, comforting, and sweet cup with a subtle touch of red apple acidity as it cools. Best enjoyed after 10–12 days of degassing.
