Brazil

Tasting notes

About this bean

Brazil is a dark roast from Impresso, sourced from Brazil Cerrado. It features the Mundo Novo, Catuai, Bourbon variety, processed 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. Dark roasts develop more body and roast-driven sweetness through deeper caramelisation. The origin character fades into chocolate, caramel and roast notes. The roaster lists tasting notes of Cocoa, Hazelnut and Creamy. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 14 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 3.6 out of 10 across 14 ratings.
