A unique lot that completely shatters stereotypes about Brazilian coffee. This Paraiso variety, naturally processed by farmer Airton Neves de Deus, showcases an elegant, clean character that is highly atypical for the region. Thanks to our ultra-light Scandinavian roast, this coffee reveals a light, tea-like body with a delicate citrus acidity and a smooth, sweet finish.
This lot is perfect for those seeking a juicy, transparent, and elegant cup from Brazil, rather than the heavy, chocolate-nutty commercial classics.
