What’s Inside This Coffee Kit

Designed for coffee lovers who appreciate provenance and precision, this kit keeps the focus on what matters most: remarkable coffee and a mindful brew.

• 1 x 250g bag of Black Tucano Premium Blend Roasted Coffee (Brazilian Arabica blend)
• Curated brew guidance to help you dial in for filter and traditional methods

It’s a streamlined path to better brewing, highlighting coffee that is intentionally sourced and expertly roasted for sweetness, depth, and balance.

Origins, Producers, and Craft

This blend takes shape through collaboration and care. The beans come from producers Carlos Henrique & Daniele Alkimin and Marcos Rennó & Andréia Moreira, whose farms are nestled in Santa Rita do Sapucaí (Mantiqueira de Minas) and São Sebastião da Bela Vista (Serra do Paredão), Brazil, at elevations ranging from 920 to 1,200 meters. These higher-altitude lots mature slowly, concentrating sugars and aromatics that later define the cup’s gentle acidity and velvety body. Post-harvest, the coffees undergo both fermented and natural processes-a considered approach that deepens sweetness while preserving clarity. Black Tucano’s roasting then guides those attributes into a resonant, polished profile that brews consistently across filter formats.

Tasting Experience

The Black Tucano Premium Blend is about plush sweetness, chocolate tones, and fruit-kissed complexity. From aroma to finish, it unfolds with the ease of a daily drinker and the intrigue of a competition lot.

• Aroma: Cocoa, caramel, and a hint of red berry.
• First sip: Milk chocolate and caramel lead, rounded by raw sugar (rapadura) and soft nuts.
• Mid-palate: Red fruits brighten the cup; think gentle apple pie warmth with a whisper of baking spice.
• Finish: Clean and lingering with cocoa and milk chocolate, medium-to-full body, and a serene, medium-low acidity.

It’s a modern Brazilian coffee that thrives on sweetness and texture. Comforting, yet far from simple, it rewards careful attention with layers that keep returning in every sip.

Ideal Brewing Methods

This blend is deliberately tailored for filter methods and traditional coffee makers. Expect clarity, syrupy sweetness, and an easy-drinking structure that holds up with or without milk.

• Pour-over (V60/Chemex/Kalita): Medium grind, 1:15–1:16 ratio, 200°F (93–94°C). Aim for 3–4 minutes total brew time to emphasize red fruit and caramel.
• Drip coffee maker: Medium grind, standard 1:15 ratio. The result is milk chocolate-forward with a clean, cocoa finish.
• French press: Medium-coarse, 1:15 ratio, 4 minutes steep, gentle plunge. Expect a rounder body and amplified cocoa.
• Traditional coffee maker: Brew as you love, with a medium grind and fresh, filtered water. This blend’s sweetness shines through.

For those who enjoy a richer cup, slightly tighten the ratio; for brighter fruit, extend your bloom and maintain steady, gentle pours. Fresh grinding and filtered water will elevate the experience.

Quality That Shows in the Cup

With an SCA score above 86 points, this is bona fide specialty coffee-meticulously sorted and roasted for consistency. The roast targets maximum sweetness and a satin mouthfeel, preserving the origin character while delivering the chocolate-caramel comfort that makes Brazilian blends beloved.

Brewing Notes for a Standout Cup

Use freshly ground coffee, fresh filtered water, and aim for a final beverage temperature that allows the sweetness and apple pie warmth to open up. A short rest after brewing-30 to 60 seconds-lets milk chocolate and caramel bloom. If your cup tastes too heavy, coarsen the grind slightly; if it’s too brisk, grind a touch finer to round the acidity and enhance cocoa.

Whether you’re starting your day or easing into a slow afternoon, the Black Tucano Premium Blend Coffee Kit brings a confident, polished cup to your ritual. It’s comfort with a refined edge: a celebration of Brazil’s most beloved flavors lifted by clarity, craft, and care. Bring home this coffee kit and brew a cup that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious-then sit back, breathe in the aroma, and enjoy.
