Black Tucano Honey Coffee Kit - Single-Origin Yellow Caturra from Espírito Santo, Brazil

Meet the coffee kit designed for discerning palates and mindful rituals. The Black Tucano Honey Coffee Kit centers on a meticulously roasted 250g bag of Black Tucano Honey Roasted Coffee, sourced from producer Waldir Manske at Sítio Alto Santa Joana in Afonso Cláudio, Espírito Santo, Brazil. This is vibrant, traceable specialty coffee-a single-origin Arabica lot with an SCA score above 86 points-crafted to elevate your morning pour-over, your afternoon espresso, and every quiet moment in between.

From its velvety body and rounded acidity to richly layered notes of cane molasses, honey, and raspberry, this coffee captures the essence of a thoughtful origin and a careful roast. It’s an invitation to slow down, breathe in the aroma, and let your brewing practice become a sensory experience.

Origin and Craft: Espírito Santo’s High-Elevation Expression

Grown at 1,100 meters in the hills of Espírito Santo, this Yellow Caturra lot embodies the precision and dedication of producer Waldir Manske. At Sítio Alto Santa Joana, attention to detail starts on the tree and continues through post-harvest handling. The result is a clean, sweet, and articulate cup that honors both the land and the hands behind it.

The honey process (also known as pulped natural) leaves a portion of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean as it dries, developing layers of caramelized sweetness while preserving a bright, refined structure. In the cup, you’ll find a dialed-in harmony: a velvety mouthfeel, medium and rounded acidity, and a lingering finish that’s both comforting and complex.

Aroma and Flavor: Sweetness with Poise

Open the bag and you’re greeted by a warm, confectionary aroma-think cane molasses and raw honey-before a burst of red fruit comes to the foreground. With each sip, ripe raspberry meets golden sweetness, creating an elegant balance that’s never cloying. The texture is plush, the finish clean, and the aftertaste gently fruity, making this coffee exceptionally versatile for multiple brew methods.

• Body: Velvety and enveloping
• Acidity: Medium, rounded, and integrated
• Flavor Notes: Cane molasses, honey, raspberry

Why Honey Process Matters

Honey-processed coffee is a study in balance. By carefully pulping the cherries and drying the beans with some mucilage intact, producers coax deeper sweetness and a creamy tactile quality without sacrificing clarity. In this lot, that meticulous approach delivers a cup that’s both comfortingly rich and crisply defined-perfect for those who want a sweet, modern profile that also respects origin character.
