Brasil Vermelha ESP

About this bean

Brasil Vermelha ESP is a medium-light roast from Gourmet cava, sourced from Brazil. It is prepared using the natural method. Natural processing dries the bean inside the whole cherry, which often imparts fruit-forward sweetness and a heavier body. Results can vary widely between farms. Medium-light roasts keep most of the origin character while developing a little more sweetness through caramelisation. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 5 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 8.8 out of 10 across 5 ratings.
