Single Origin Brazilian Coffee Beans are the gold standard of everyday espresso — Brazil being the world’s largest coffee producer and home to some of its most reliably excellent beans. Brazilian coffees are prized for their naturally low acidity, heavy body and characteristic nutty, chocolate-forward flavour profile that forms the backbone of countless great espresso blends.
Tasting Notes
Expect rich notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut and brown sugar, with a smooth, round mouthfeel and a long, clean finish. Low acidity makes this particularly kind on the stomach.
