We roast this coffee specifically for Automatic Machines (AM), using an adapted roast profile. It's less suited for semi-automatic portafilter machines.
Fazenda Sao Jose
We have been working with Marcos Antonio de Freitas from Fazenda Sao Jose since 2020. Their Red Catuaí forms the core component of our blends.
The farm covers 225ha of coffee trees. Marcos is the second generation that runs the family farm. He has a degree in agronomics and oversees the farm management and cultivation. Marcos is very dedicated to sustainable growth. He uses organic fertilizer (a blend between sugar cane bagasse and animal manure) and powers much of the farm with solar panels.
Marcos has consistently supplied us with a stable quality. A very round cup with a sirup-y body and notes of chocolate, hazelnut, brown sugar and citrus. The perfect baseline coffee for a round, comforting espresso.
