The region’s elevation and traditional farming practices create a flavor profile that’s distinctly smooth and approachable. Processing This coffee is pulped natural, meaning the fruit is removed but some mucilage remains during drying — a process that enhances sweetness and body. After careful drying in the sun and mechanical driers, the result is a clean, balanced cup that highlights Brazil’s signature chocolate and nutty notes.
