This Brazilian coffee comes from Grupo Veloso, a family-owned business in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Minas Gerais. The coffee is sourced from the Santa Bárbara and Nova Suíça farms at 1100 meters altitude. It is a natural processed coffee featuring Catuai and Mundo Novo varieties. Colecta is one of Veloso's signature offerings, celebrated for its natural sweetness, balance, and versatility. The coffee presents rich notes of toasted hazelnut, followed by wholesome, earthy nuances of granola, with a smooth finish of semi-sweet chocolate. It delivers a harmonious balance, full body, and subtle complexity.
