About the bean
Our Brazil Planalto is sourced from the family-run Planalto Estate in the highlands of Nova Rezende, in the south of Mina Gerais - the country's main producer of milk and coffee. The farm's 3,600-foot altitude and surrounding natural forest create a unique microclimate, perfect for growing high-quality coffee.
What to expect
An aromatic cup with a rich and velvety body underlaid with fruit and nut notes.
For our taste test, we compared a City and Full City roast profile. Overall, we enjoyed a balanced cup with a nice body; a pleasant medium acidity and taste notes of fruit and nut. The City roast was particularly aromatic and a milk chocolate underlay emerged at Full City.
We made a memorable pour over with the Brazil Planalto. Because of its nice, light brightness and nutty kick, we would generally recommend this bean as an espresso base or as a standalone espresso pick, and, for summer, as a base for cold brew.
