This coffee is a single-origin offering from Fazenda São Lucas, located in the Alta Mogiana region of Brazil at an altitude of 1,100 meters. It is a Catuai variety processed using the natural method. The coffee features a medium-dark roast profile with a full body and low acidity. Tasting notes include chocolate and hazelnut.
Founded in 2014, West Berkshire Roastery emerged from a single coffee van and an obsession with solving the eternal mystery of why office coffee tastes so dismal. Their roasting philosophy centers on high-airflow techniques that 99% of roasters don't employ, coupled with rigorous lab testing for pesticides and mycotoxins—a rare commitment to purity in the specialty coffee world. From their Berkshire headquarters, where Bertie the black Labrador maintains quality control with his "paw of approval," they've built a direct-trade model that prioritizes transparency while crafting chocolatey, caramel-forward profiles that defy the industry's obsession with bright, fruity notes.
