House Blend - Brazil
Our House Blend is a naturally processed Brazilian coffee from Sul de Minas, produced by the female-led farms behind Donas do Café.
Smooth, sweet and balanced, it brings milk chocolate, nutty notes and gentle complexity, working beautifully both black and with milk.
The story...
Brazil is the world’s largest producerof coffee, with the state of Minas Gerais serving as the powerhouse of the speciality coffee market. In 2011, Minas Gerais was recognised as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) region due to its tradition and worldwide reputation for producing speciality coffees with highly sought-after flavour profiles.
Minas Gerais is a special place to cultivate coffee, thanks to its ideal climate, rich volcanic soils, and the expertise of its producers. This coffee is the result of the dedication and skill of four female-led farms in Sul de Minas. Its name, Donas do Café, translates as “the women owners of coffee”, a fitting tribute to the people behind the cup.
Harvested at peak ripeness, cherries from four farms are carefully brought together for natural processing - a method long favoured and refined in Brazil. From cultivation through to processing, every stage is handled with care, creating a complex cup layered with rich chocolate and nutty notes. Versatile by design, this coffee is beautifully balanced when served black and carries milk with ease. A true crowd-pleaser.
