Brazil Cerrado Single Estate

The Cerrado region of Brazil is often characterized with chocolate and nutty flavor, and this one is extremely chocolatey. Particularly well suited to be used as coffee (as opposed to Espresso) this single-estate Brazil was grown by Ricardo Vagne Ignotti on his farm which is called Chapadao de Ferro. He does all the picking by hand and processes the coffee on site in order to bring a higher quality Brazilian coffee to market.

It still has a definite Brazil coffee character, you'll note it in the aftertaste, that flavor you just don't pick up from other origins -- but the dark chocolate flavor is unmistakable. We like it about 15 seconds into the 2nd cracks, but you can go lighter than this to pick up slight cooked fruit/berry notes.
