Icatu

We roast this Yellow Catuai from Brazil in a strong and balanced way to give you the classic flavor profile you would expect from a single-origin Brazilian espresso.

There are more and more farms in Brazil that focus more on coffee quality than quantity. They cultivate, harvest and process with great attention to detail. Brazil's high altitude and volcanic soils provide the best conditions for producing the balanced, full-bodied coffees that the country has become famous for.

This coffee is processed as pulped natural (or honey-processed). The pits of the coffee cherries are separated by a mechanical depulper. After removing the pulp, a light layer (mucilage) sticks to the bean. This layer of fruit contains a natural sweetness that soaks into the core as it dries, giving the bean a more intense flavor.
