Icatu

Description

The strong, creamy body of this espresso has intense chocolate notes and tastes deliciously juicy like a half-baked cookie. As it cools, the sweet notes of caramel unfold. We roast this Icatu from Brazil strongly and balanced to bring you the classic flavor profile in the cup that one expects from a single-origin Brazilian espresso. In Brazil, there are more and more farms focusing on coffee quality rather than quantity. They cultivate, harvest, and process with great attention to detail. The altitude and volcanic soils of Brazil provide the best conditions to produce the balanced, full-bodied coffees for which the country has become famous. This coffee is processed as natural. In this process, the pulp remains on the bean and dries with it. The pulp contains a natural sweetness that penetrates the bean during drying, giving it a more intense flavor. Sebastião Curimbaba is a true visionary. From a young age, he worked alongside his father, Benedito Curimbaba, laying the foundation for the Curimbaba Group. Together, they acquired the Fazenda Chapadão with a clear mission: to create a place where outstanding coffee is grown. Through targeted investments in infrastructure and the continuous development of the team, the farm has become a pioneer in quality and innovation in coffee production. The location of Fazenda Chapadão offers perfect conditions for coffee cultivation and is known for its exceptional quality. Since participating in the Especialíssimo program, the farm has consistently delivered top-notch specialty coffees year after year, setting new standards in the world of specialty coffee.
