Why You’ll Love This Coffee

Think of this cup as a polished expression of Brazilian terroir: layered sweetness, fruit-kissed aromatics, and an easygoing structure. The medium, rounded acidity brings lift without edge, while the velvety texture carries flavors gracefully from first sip to finish. The aroma opens with warm cane molasses and floral honey, before transitioning into a playful raspberry note that adds a gentle, juicy sparkle. It’s indulgent yet precise-comforting but never heavy-designed to delight both curious newcomers and seasoned specialty coffee drinkers.

Origin & Craft

From Espírito Santo’s highland microclimate, producer Waldir Manske cultivates Yellow Caturra on Sítio Alto Santa Joana at 1,100 meters. This altitude fosters slower cherry maturation and deeper sweetness. The lot is processed using the Honey (Pulped Natural) method: ripe cherries are depulped, then dried with a measured layer of sticky mucilage still intact. The result is a cup with enhanced body and natural sweetness-often a hallmark of the honey process-while still retaining articulate fruit and a clean finish. There are no added flavors here; “honey” refers to the process, not an ingredient.

Black Tucano Coffee Roasters developed a roast profile that highlights the coffee’s inherent sugars and florals without overshadowing its delicate fruit. Expect excellent solubility for balanced brewing across methods, from hand-brewed filters to dialed-in espresso.
