Brazil / Capim Branco / Natural / Medium Roast

Story of Coffee

The latest coffee from the Andrade family offers a fresh perspective on flavour. The inherent sweetness of the 'Yellow Catuai' beans is beautifully amplified through dry processing. In this method, freshly picked, ripe coffee cherries are dried whole before the husk is removed. Inside, you'll often find two green coffee beans—rarely just one—clustered together, soaking up the natural sweetness of the fruit.

Carefully roasted, this coffee awakens the taste buds with delicate cocoa notes, complemented by a vibrant, juicy burst of blackberry freshness. A rich undertone of praline-like hazelnuts lingers on the palate, leaving a memorable aftertaste. With milk, the espresso reveals velvety caramel notes and a creamy, caramel-like sweetness. But with oat milk, it becomes even more complex, with deeper nutty nuances and a luxurious mouthfeel, transforming into what feels more like a delicate dessert than a traditional coffee.

Capim Branco coffee farm was established in the distant year of 1901. Spanning a total of 300 hectares, the farm is home to nearly 1.5 million coffee trees. The name "Capim Branco" translates directly to "White Grass," fully justifying itself during the coffee tree flowering period between September and November with the white aromatic coffee blossoms. The ancient traditions of this farm, coupled with modern thinking, contribute to the cultivation of world-class coffee, leveraging the unique climate of the Cerrado Mineiro region, renowned for its creamy, nutty, and delicately sweet flavor nuances in coffee.

Today, the coffee farm is managed by brothers Ismaels and Eduardo Andrades, along with Ismael's son, Romulo, thus ensuring the transfer of tradition to future generations and continuing to evolve continuously.

This has resulted in numerous prestigious coffee awards, including the first place in the "Cup of Excellence, Brazil" in 2017.
