Beans from Brazil are always a favourite, that is also the reason behind Brazil being the largest exporter of green beans in the world. We decided to bring in Brazil Cerrado from the Mogiana region.

BRAZIL CERRADO MOGIANA SS FC 14/16 is produced by farmers belonging to cooperatives in the Cerrado region within the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Cerrado region, the newest of three major Brazilian growing regions, has been building in reputation and production over the last few decades. Coffee in this region is grown on high plateaus at elevations peaking just over 1,000 meters above sea level. The region also has relatively mild weather patterns providing a more predicable climate for processing coffee.

As the world’s largest coffee producer, Brazilian lots often come from larger estates that use highly mechanized processing strategies to manage larger volumes.  Our current offering is Fine Cup (FC) and Strictly Soft (SS), the highest cup category in the Brazilian coffee grading.

This particular type is a standard speciality quality coffee. It’s dry-processed, meaning the beans are patio-dried while they’re still in the cherry. Since the coffees are dried in contact with the sweet mucilage, the coffee’s cup profile will be heavy in body, sweet, smooth and complex. The 17/18 screen size has a more consistent flavour without the pungent fruit notes that can turn up in smaller screen-sized beans, which is an indication of varying bean maturity.

This type carries three quality classifications:

• NY (New York) 2/3: specifies that the quality is standard to the Green Coffee Association of New York. 2/3 refers to the amount of defects permitted in the lot; a maximum of nine secondary defects and no primary defects.
• SSFC (Strictly Soft Fine Cup): Strictly Soft beans are grown at relatively low altitudes (under 1,200 meters). Beans grown at lower altitudes mature quickly and produce a lighter, less dense bean. Fine Cup means it is a speciality grade coffee.
• 17/18 refers to the screen size. These beans are one screen size larger than 14/16, denoting a larger bean. Larger bean size is generally linked to higher quality.

This Brazil Mogiana Cerrado is roasted to a perfect medium roast, to emphasize on its chocolate notes, a little bit nutty in the middle, sweet caramel noted and a clean finish. Give it a try!
