A beautiful natural microlot produced by Raquel Ribeiro Aguiar, perfectly balancing the classic terroir-driven profile of the Campo das Vertentes region with vibrant, fruity nuances. Roasted in our signature ultra-light Scandinavian style, this coffee is completely clean of the heavy, bitter notes typical of commercial Brazilian lots. Instead, expect a wonderfully sweet, transparent cup with a smooth, caramel-like body and delicate citrus acidity.
An excellent choice for those who value clarity, intense sweetness, and a long, silky finish in filter coffee or modern light-profile espresso.

Brewing Recommendations
Excels in pour-over methods (V60, Kalita, Chemex) with water temperatures around 93–95°C. For espresso, we recommend a higher yield (ratio starting from 1:2.5) to fully emphasize its complex fruitiness. Let the coffee degas for 10–14 days from the roast date for optimal flavor presentation.
