WHAT WE LOVE

Not all coffees are created equal, and simple does not equal basic. Many “simple” or “mild” coffees can be irresistable, special, and highly distinguished. This deliciousness is attained by discovering the right cultivar and pairing it with a clean roast.

In the cup, this “semi-washed” Brazilian coffee is defined by its mellow but constantly sweet experience, as well as an ability to scale robustly through darker roasts. Layers of browning sugars and dark chocolate lay the foundation for a mild and rounded acidity. An inspired universal, the Guaxupe’s natural versatility, base note complexity, and high sweetness make it fantastic in blends, or as a single origin.
