Brazil / Capim Branco / Natural / Light Roast

Story of Coffee

The latest coffee from the Andrade family offers a fresh perspective on flavour. And the way we perceive things around us. 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, two —sometimes just one—green coffee beans are snuggling together, absorbing the sweetness of the coffee fruit.

Carefully roasted, this coffee awakens the senses with delicate notes of cocoa beans intertwined with the bright and juicy freshness of blackberries. A distinctive praline-like richness of crumbled hazelnuts follows, lingering pleasantly in the aftertaste. With milk, the espresso reveals velvety caramel notes and a creamy, caramel-like sweetness. When paired with oat milk, it takes on an even nuttier depth, a velvety mouthfeel, and the indulgent sensation of a refined dessert rather than just a cup of 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 flavour 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.

* Yellow Catuaí coffee beans are known for their smaller size and yellow or orange colour when ripe. They offer a wide flavour profile, including sweetness, fruitiness, and floral notes. The adaptability and quality of Yellow Catuaí have made it popular among coffee growers worldwide.
