April does as it pleases—a mix of sun, wind, and rain is nothing out of the ordinary at this time of year. What gets on some people’s nerves delights others. Because not only farmers here, but also the Andrade family—who have been growing coffee in the highlands of the Cerrado Mineiro region in Minas Gerais, Brazil, since the early 20th century—rely on this mix of rain, sun, and warmth, as it provides ideal growing conditions: At an altitude of 1,100 meters, coffee cherries ripen effortlessly and become the foundation for enjoying high-quality coffee. Respect for nature and the protection of the natural habitat of plants and animals have always been top priorities for the Andrade brothers.
In terms of flavor, this sweet and intense coffee is an incredibly rich symphony of aromas with notes of raspberries, rose, cotton candy, and more. So if you’re looking to get in the mood for your next visit to a fair or amusement park—or simply want to enjoy the sweet life—choosing this coffee is the perfect choice.
This year, we were fortunate enough to secure a small batch of the top-awarded coffee from the “Brazil Naturals” category.
