Roast profile:  Medium  

This exciting coffee has a mild acidity with a creamy mouthfeel.  It�s sweet tasting, clean cup is full of well balanced caramel and chocolate notes. This is a coffee that always makes me realise how good a cup of coffee can actually be, I love it!

Great as a single origin espresso, but suited to all types of prep methods

Additional info: 

Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama has been in the Carvalho Dias family since 1890 and recently celebrated its 106th crop. It is located in S�o Paolo State just 3 miles from the border with Minas Gerais State. It enjoys the typical characteristics of the mountainous Mogiana and Sul de Minas regions. Gabriel de Carvalho Dias is one of Brazil�s leading agronomists. His family owns several farms which border each other in this area.

With a total area of 417 hectares, Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama has a coffee plantation area of 165 hectares. On this farm everything is done manually since its topography does not allow any kind of mechanisation. The mill is located in the spa town of Po�os de Caldas, 45 mins from the farm.

Social and environmental sustainability is considered very important here. The farm has a programme of planting native species to maintain a better ecological balance. There is also a school, a club and an official size soccer field for the employee�s benefit. There are 47 houses, all with modern facilities. The waste water is treated to avoid polluting the stream that runs across the farm. The farm has a small hydroelectric plant and only buys energy during the harvest.

This farm produces several single varietal coffee including the rare and experimental Canario hybrid. Some of the original Bourbon varietal trees are as much as 107 years old. The beans are harvested on a sheet and prepared by the �pulped natural� process that separates the greens. After harvest the beans receive the maximum attention possible so as not to lose any of the body and cup qualities that the region is known for.

All coffees are fresh roasted to order
