The coffee comes from various regions across Brazil, including Sul de Minas, Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana, and Matas de Minas, where farms average 7.5 hectares in size.
Named after the rattlesnake ('Cascavel' in Portuguese), this coffee highlights the importance of biodiversity in the coffee ecosystem. Rattlesnakes help control rodent populations, protecting coffee tree roots and irrigation systems.
This coffee is sourced from various farms across Brazil, grown at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,110 meters above sea level. The varieties used in Cascavel Verde vary but are selected for their quality and consistency.
Brazilian coffee farming is highly mechanized due to the relatively flat landscape and high labor costs. Many farms use mechanical harvesters that are increasingly selective, ensuring ripe cherries are picked at optimal maturity. In some cases, ‘manual mechanized’ harvesting is used with vibration tools and tarps to capture the coffee cherries.
These lots undergo a hybrid process. The skin of the coffee cherry is removed, but instead of fully washing away the mucilage (as in Washed processing), the coffees are left to dry with some of the sticky fruit layer still intact. This enhances sweetness and body while maintaining clarity in the cup.
Expect a well-balanced and approachable profile with rich chocolate notes, sweet nectarine, and a nutty hazelnut finish. The carefully selected blend ensures consistency and delivers a versatile cup with soft acidity and a comforting, well-rounded finish.
