Brasil Mantiqueira De Minas Natural

Producer: COCARIVE Co-operative, Carmo de Minas
Process: Natural
Varietal: Yellow Bourbon
Tasting notes: Milk chocolate, almond, sweet cherry

Another farm we've had the pleasure of visiting, this time by Elle in May 2019. This natural processed coffee is sun dried as a whole cherry until the desired moisture level is reached to give the coffee its distinctive sweetness and weighty mouthfeel. A superb all-round coffee excellent in any situation.

Mantiqueira has a reputation for growing Yellow beans and not red, the epitome of which is the Yellow Bourbon.

Amarelo Mantiqueira is picked from just Yellow Bourbon, and processed on individual farms before resting in wood lined silos.

The beans are then laser sorted, cupped, and graded before blending and exporting.
