Brazil – Fazenda Bananal
Hailing from 600–900 m elevations in Sorocabana, Fazenda Bananal grows Yellow Catuai that is naturally sundried on raised beds. This sustainable single origin lot is processed under tropical sun to concentrate sugars and deepen body, then carefully cupped to specialty standards.
In your cup, Fazenda Bananal reveals creamy macadamia‑nut richness, milk‑chocolate depth and a gentle melon‑like acidity, all wrapped in a lush, velvety mouthfeel. The micro‑lot approach ensures consistent quality and farm‑to‑roaster transparency.
Filter / Pour‑Over Recommendation:
Measure 20 g coffee to 320 g water at 93 °C in a Chemex. Pour in four stages over 3–4 minutes to highlight its full body and chocolate‑fruit sweetness.
Espresso Recipe:
Dose 18 g and pull 36 g in 26 seconds at 9 bar, yielding a thick crema and pronounced nut‑chocolate character.
