Marisella Sauza is a small family run farm high up in
the mountainous region of Parana, Sur
de Minas. The farm's focus is on producing
the best quality possible that would allow
them to receive a better price, thus improving
the livelihood of the family and workers
employed there. Icatu and Red Catuai make
up the varietals grown there.
This coffee is
a honey preparation. Meaning, the washed
coffee is pulped, then fermented to remove
the mesocarp (mucilage). Honey processing
sort of bridges the gap between wet and
natural coffees as the cherry is pulped
and then dried with the mucilage layer
left on the parchment. The result is extra
sweetness in the cup.
Perfect for all
types of brewing, including single-origin
espresso. |
