A single origin coffee from Fazenda Pinheirense in Petúnia, Sul de Minas, Brazil, grown at 1050–1100 meters altitude. The farm is part of an agroforestry project, where native tree species provide shade, nitrogen fixation, and water retention, promoting biodiversity and slow growth conditions. Varieties include Arara, IPR 107, and IAC 125 RN. Ripe cherries were selectively hand-picked and dried naturally on patios and African beds for 12–20 days to 11–12% residual moisture. The result is a fruit-forward natural with notable sweetness, featuring notes of cherry, maple syrup, and apple. Roasted as an espresso roast.
Machhörndl Kaffee is a beloved Nuremberg roastery that has been a fixture of the Franconian specialty coffee scene for years, roasting small batches with artisanal care. Named after the Machhörndl family, the roastery emphasizes traditional drum roasting and direct sourcing from carefully selected farms across Africa, Central and South America. Their café in Nuremberg doubles as a gathering place for the local coffee community, with cuppings, tastings, and equipment advice. The flavor profiles range from bright, fruity filters to rich, full-bodied espressos, always roasted to showcase origin character rather than roast flavor. It's one of those neighborhood roasteries that locals fiercely guard as their own — and for good reason.
