This Fairtrade certified coffee is from the Mantiqueira de Minas region in the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil, grown at 1200 meters altitude. The coffee is Yellow Catuai variety, processed using the natural method. It features tasting notes of dark chocolate, red berry, and vanilla. The region has a centuries-old tradition in coffee growing, with ideal climate and environment for specialty coffee production. Over 80% of producers are small farmers who have been awarded in recognized quality concourses, including world record scores in Cup of Excellence.
