Description
Coffee beans from Brazil from farmer Flavio Reis
A fresh coffee harvest from the Reis family, selected by us personally in the country of origin.
In 2023, we arrived at the Rancho Grande farm in the municipality Tres Pontas, State Minas Gerais, and were amazed by the Reis family's approach to coffee production. The third generation of farmers, who loves their business very much and builds kindergartens, schools and houses for their workers. So many of the farm's employees are third-generation workers. They are born in these parts, grow up, study and stay to work on this beautiful land.
We have brought a fresh crop of a relatively new and very promising variation - Arara. Later maturation allows the berry to gain more sugars, which gives more sweetness and a more voluminous body to your cup.
Taste profile: classic balanced Brazil with a floral-nutty aroma and a bouquet of nougat, hazelnut and floral honey.
