Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira Canario

25 February 2009 in Beans

Brazil is the biggest producer in coffee market. It is the France in wines. Brazilian coffee varies from the poorest quality to the top of the business. It is difficult to describe typical brazilian coffee. Most of the coffees have low acidity, because of the low altitude they are growing, the better ones are grown higher and have bigger fruit and they produce brighter cup. Typically brazilian coffees are roasted light. The “better” coffees are often called Santos Brazil or something like that. Thats what you can find from the coffee dealer. But this one coming is what to really look for:

Cachoeira Canario comes from the pioneers of classy coffee: The Carvalho Dias family. The farm produced coffee from the early 1800’s and nowadays produces the most awarded coffee from Brazil. The crops grow around 1100m above the sea level which is high compared to typical brazilians growing at 500-600m.

The nose gives a little bit of sweet liqueur and salted nuts.

The Taste: a flawless vigorous body – the perfect cup. Light roast gives more nutty aromas, dark roast brings the chocolate to the front. Nuts, toffee, feeling that everything is okay.

Dark or light roast: If you can find this anywhere, just buy it. To maintain good balance brew it with coffee syphon!

(The rumour from the streets tells that Kaffa roastery is importing this to finnish markets soon. )
