Description
Brazil is the world's largest coffee-exportingcountry. Although a large portion of the coffee produced in Brazil is commodity grade,we areseeing anincreasing focus on quality and sustainability in the country,particularly in recent years. Brazilian coffees are hugely popular due to their full-bodiedyet simple flavour profiles. Typically boasting a rich and creamy body, with lots of chocolate and nutty flavours, Brazilian coffees are a great option for the discerning coffee drinker who wants a simple every day drinking coffee.
This Brazilian single-origin coffee comes froma farm that is pioneering both quality and sustainability in Brazil. FazendaP*ntano, named after the swamps that it neighbours, is a sustainable farm that includes natural forest reserves as well as other crops. Their commitment to protecting the local forest lands and dedication sustainability within the coffee industry in their region has earned them the sustainable farming award from the prestigious Globo Rural agricultural magazine.
Fazenda P*ntano has worked closely with the Brazilian Coffee institute with an intense focus on coffee processing and flavour. With over 148 varieties on their farm and constant experimentation withcoffee processing, the results of this relationship really speak for themselves.
Phaedon's tasting notes
This coffee is everything that you would want a traditional Brazilian to be. It has plenty of body, a strong nutty flavour - hazelnuts to be specific - and a lingering cocoa finish. Last but certainly not least, it has a luxurious, syrupy & creamy mouth feel that just adds to the pleasure in the cup. You won't find any bright acidity or whacky fruit flavours here, but if you're looking for a satisfying, easy-drinking kind of coffee, look no further!
