Brazil Campos Altos natural green coffee beans are sourced from the Cerrado Mineiro — Brazil's first Denomination of Origin coffee region and one of its most consistent producers of specialty-grade Arabica. This lot blends Catuai and Arara varieties, screens at 16+, and scores 83 on the SCA scale, making it a well-structured choice for home roasters and commercial roasteries looking for a balanced, versatile Brazilian natural.
Processed using the natural (dry) method at 1,000–1,200 masl, the cherries are sun-dried whole, developing the sweetness and body characteristic of Cerrado naturals. Catuai contributes a clean, structured base while Arara — a newer high-scoring Brazilian variety — adds complexity and fruit-forward character. The result is a balanced, sweet cup with caramel, milk chocolate, and stone fruit, supported by a full body and soft acidity.
The balanced profile and full body make this lot equally well-suited for single origin espresso, milk-based drinks, and filter brewing. Screen 16UP ensures uniform roasting, making it a reliable option for both small-batch home roasters and scalable commercial production.
