This blend combines seasonal single origin coffees from Brazil and Ethiopia. The Pau Brasil component from the Cerrado region is a natural processed coffee providing rich chocolate notes reminiscent of a chocolate bar. The Organic Ethiopia Limu Grade 2 from Guji, Orimia farm offers sweet berry notes that taste like berry jam. The blend is 100% Arabica coffee roasted to a medium level for a smooth, round body and well-balanced sweetness. Tasting notes include chocolate bar and sweet berries.
