Moinho

PRODUCER: Thalita Martins FARM: Moinho PROCESS: Natural VARIETIES: Yellow Arara ALTITUDE: 1350 MASL NOTES: Praline & rum, easygoing Another easy going coffee joins our line up! This is our final selection from last year's trip to the Serra da Mantiqueira in Brazil. Produced by Thalita Martins at Fazenda de Moinho, this natural process Yellow Arara is sweet and nutty, with a whisper of rum on the finish. It's been fun presenting our Cocarive selections this year- and always a challenge to get the coffees tasting as good as you remember them from the cupping table in Brazil! Just like the Sitio da Torre and Baixadao lots, this is roasted a little lighter, to bring out the unique characteristics of high altitude, meticulously processed Mantiqueira coffees. Clean, sessionable and quietly surprising, we're enjoying this on both filter and espresso. Owned and farmed by Thalita Martins; she inherited the small holding from her uncle, Robson Vilela Martins. The family have been involved in coffee for many generations, owning four farms in the area, they’re loved and respected in the local coffee community. The Fazenda is typical of this part of Brazil, where we find small estates in the high altitudes and rolling hills that are full of native shade trees, toucans and this delicious Yellow Arara! The name Mantiqueira comes from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani word ‘Amantikir’, best translated as “the mountains that cry”, a reference to the abundance of natural springs that flow through the region."
