Brazil Daterra "Villa Borghesi"

Rain Forest Alliance and Organic Certified |
| These are amazing Tuscan-style espresso beans that
are technically a blend of several cultivars grown on the Daterra
Farms in Brazil. . "Tuscan style" can be said to mean simple,
yet elegant, Mediterranean in nature, that is prepared under strict,
traditional Italian style. Think of a perfectly poured demitasse of
espresso with a deep, deep thick reddish crema placed on a small saucer
with a fresh stick of heavy flavored biscotti sitting next to it.
We've been trying to get this coffee for over a year now and it probably will not last long (hopefully we're wrong). Cupping Notes: Intriguing chiffon-like fragrance. Floral, (coffee blossom) intense hazelnut. Ripened plum-like sweet fruit. Winy with a long sweet cocoa finish. It only gets better as it cools. Roasting Notes: Medium roast. If possible, slow the roast way down after first crack being careful not to stall it, then stretch the roast for four more minutes until finished to maximize sweetness (for drum roasters). Roast no more than 20 seconds into 2nd crack, preferably only 5 or 10. There are some soft beans, so reduce the heat considerably for the last minute or so to prevent tipping. |
Note: these are unroasted green coffee beans
