This coffee is from small to medium producers based around the town of Espírito Santo do Pinhal in the Mogiana region, bordering Minas Gerais and São Paulo states in Brazil. The coffee is naturally processed and sun-dried on patios at 900+ meters altitude. The varieties include Mundo Novo, Catuaí, and some Catucaí. The cup profile is creamy with biscuit and hazelnut brittle notes. This is a community lot where producers contribute coffees from their small farms, selected for consistency and distinctive regional flavor profiles. Sourced through Bossa Coffee, a Brazilian specialty coffee importer based in London.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
