New Limited Brazilian Estate...Baixa da Pedra

This coffee took 2nd place in the Brazilian cupping compitition this last year. I secured four 132 pound bags.

As I grind this estate I am blasted with a deep caramel aroma, the cup is light with a noted citrus zing that tantalizes the roof of my mouth, it finishes with a slight smooth winyness.

This estate is a pulp natural. The cherry is allowed to dry slightly on the tree before picking. This process allows the absorbtion of the mucilage into the cherry pit or as most know it, the coffee bean itself. This process is not normal for Brazil. They are doing a few parcels to satisfy the 3rd wavers. This estate obviously has done some satisfying!!
