From the sun-drenched Cerrado Mineiro plateau of Minas Gerais — one of Brazil’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions — this peaberry single origin is something special. A peaberry forms when only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry (rather than the usual two flat halves), concentrating the fruit’s sugars and nutrients into a single, rounded bean. The result is a noticeably more intense and uniform extraction.

Processed using the washed method and roasted to a city+ level, this Brazilian delivers a clean, richly satisfying cup ideally suited to espresso, bean-to-cup machines and Moka pot.

Our head roaster’s recommended espresso recipe: 17g in, 34g out, 25 seconds — the same recipe used at our cafe.

Tasting notes: Milk chocolate, roasted hazelnut, caramel sweetness, creamy body.
