PROCESSING

The so-called 'natural in pile'. Fruits throughout the fruit are spread on African beds and a special long cone shape is formed. The restricted access to air causes the temperature inside the pile to rise, accelerating the fermentation processes. These are responsible for the fruity depth and vinous character of this super-sweet coffee!


THE FARM

Campo Alegre is a farm owned by a true Brazilian coffee legend, Henrique Cambria. Last summer, Henrique hosted us at his beautiful home, from which we made a base for exploring the surrounding plantations. Knowledge, experience and a bag of amazing anecdotes - we soaked it all up from this amazing pro until the wee hours of the night.


ROASTER'S COMMENT

Quite a freak. Sweet and winey, a little wild but still on the leash. Fruity and fresh, but also chocolatey and deep. Well, it seems to have worked!


PACKAGING

The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
