Sensory Highlights and Origins

Single-Origin: Sítio Bom Destino, Espírito Santo

This single-origin lot from producer Josiane Lima Bissoli captures the nuance of Afonso Cláudio at 900 meters. The washed Yellow Catucaí 2SL yields a beautifully clean cup: floral top notes unfold into honey and raw sugar (rapadura), with a peach-like juiciness that lingers. Medium roasted for versatility, it shines in filter methods with crystalline sweetness and offers a balanced, stone-fruit-forward espresso. With an SCA score of 86+ and a pedigree rooted in careful cultivation, it’s a textbook example of expressive Brazilian Arabica.

Honey Process: Sítio Alto Santa Joana, Afonso Cláudio

Crafted by producer Waldir Manske at 1,100 meters, this Honey (pulped natural) Yellow Caturra reveals a velvety body and rounded acidity. Aromas of cane molasses and honey set the stage for ripe raspberry and a plush, syrupy mid-palate. The cup is comforting yet bright, ideal for those who want sweetness without sacrificing nuance. With a score above 86 and a medium roast profile, it’s versatile across pour-over, immersion, and even a syrupy, fruit-laced espresso shot for milk drinks.

Fruity Fermented: Limited Edition from Sítio Bom Destino

From producer Lima Bassoli at 850 meters, this fermented Catuaí 81 is the fruit-driven star of the kit. Expect strawberry and raspberry over a base of molasses and honey, wrapped in a buoyant, confectionary sweetness. The SCA score (above 89) reflects exceptional processing and detail, delivering a layered, jammy cup with remarkable clarity. The kit includes four 250g bags so you can dial in your method-ideal for V60, Kalita, or traditional coffee makers-while savoring the limited-edition profile at its peak. It’s the perfect lens for exploring fermentation and origin character in modern Brazilian specialty coffee.

Premium Blend: Mantiqueira de Minas & Serra do Paredão

Elegantly composed from Yellow Catuaí and Mundo Novo varieties, this blend bridges fermented and natural processes to showcase balance and depth. In the cup, you’ll discover chocolate and red fruits up front, followed by milk chocolate, caramel, apple pie, cocoa, rapadura, and a touch of toasted nuts. With a medium-to-full body and medium-low acidity, it’s a crowd-pleaser that still respects complexity. Designed for filters and traditional brewers, it’s equally comfortable as a forgiving, chocolate-forward espresso, especially in cappuccinos and lattes.

Organic: Naturally Processed and Sustainably Grown

The Organic selection celebrates responsible sourcing and soil stewardship from sustainably grown Brazilian farms. Creamy and comforting, it offers milk chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel, with balanced acidity and an SCA score above 86. The natural process preserves sweetness and body, making it a delightful daily drinker. Brew it as a mellow, cozy pour-over for afternoon breaks or pull a rich, nutty espresso for an indulgent cortado. This is feel-good coffee in every sense: traceable, ethical, and satisfying.

Craftsmanship, Traceability, and Sustainability

Each bag in this kit represents meticulous farm-level work and small-batch roasting. You’ll find traceable lots from respected producers-Josiane Lima Bissoli, Waldir Manske, Lima Bassoli, and partner families Carlos Henrique & Daniele Alkimin, Marcos Rennó & Andréia Moreira-cultivated between 850 and 1,200 meters. Careful processing (washed, honey, fermented, and natural) preserves terroir-specific character, while gentle roasting brings sweetness, clarity, and balance to the forefront. The result is a lineup of high-scoring coffees that reflect sustainability and craft from seed to cup.

Brewing Guidance for Peak Flavor

• Filter Methods: Start at a 1:16 ratio (e.g., 25g coffee to 400g water) at 205°F/96°C. Use a medium grind and a 30–45 second bloom. Expect sparkling clarity from the Single-Origin and layered fruit from the Fruity Fermented.
• Immersion: Try 18g coffee to 300g water, 4 minutes steep, gentle stir, then press. Honey Process and Organic show syrupy body and round sweetness here.
• Espresso: Begin around 18g in, 36–40g out, 26–30 seconds. For the Premium Blend, lean slightly longer for lush chocolate; for the Single-Origin and Honey, aim for a balanced shot that highlights stone fruit and raspberry.
• Milk Pairing: Premium Blend and Organic excel in lattes and cappuccinos; Fruity Fermented rewards small milk drinks that showcase berry sweetness.
