Cerca de Pedra São Benedito is a coffee from Brasil. The combining of red and yellow catuai coffee varietal and processing with natural method. A very good performance cup profile that we are highly recommended to try. It is a combination of complex structure including floral aromatic, fruity as purple grape, raspberry and strawberry, hint of almond, sweet and syrupy mouthfeel as caramel and molasses. Let’s give it a try and you will fall in love with Brasil coffee.

 This coffee was then naturally processed. Cherries were washed gently and carefully laid out in greenhouses to dry on raised African beds. They were also turned several times a day to ensure they were drying evenly. At this stage, the coffee is practically left in the shade, as this slows down and extends the drying considerably. Silvio explains as this is key in improving and ‘saving’ the fructose and all positive attributes found in the fruit, as these contribute to a higher quality in the final cup. Finally, the beans were separated into numbered lots, and later stored and rested in parchment in a purpose-built warehouse. They were then cupped for quality control prior to export.

 RECOMMENDED Suitable for Filter brewing methods and French press.
