This peaberry coffee was grown and wash-processed by Fazenda Canaã and Fazenda Esperança in the Planalto da Bahia region of Brazil. The coffee features Yellow and Red Catuai varietals grown at 950 meters altitude. The cherries were handpicked, de-pulped, and fermented in tanks for 12-15 hours before being sundried. The wash-processed method combined with the unique terroir creates flavor notes of chocolate and granola, making it suitable for espresso or pour-over brewing.
