This coffee is from Patricia Carvalho and Gabriel Wagner, a daughter/father team who manage their century-old family farm, Sao Jose in Brazil's Mantiqueira de Minas growing region. This area boasts modest altitudes for Brazil, and the farm is on a relatively steep-sloped grade that goes from 950 meters above sea level up to about 1300 meters. The coffee is pulp natural processed, which means the cherry is removed before drying, and then the seeds are dried with some of the fruit mucilage intact. Pulp natural coffees produce a bit more chaff than washed coffee when roasting, but they also tend to be more refined than dry process coffees from Brazil This coffee was purchased through an exporter in Minas Geraís.
