Brazil João Hamilton

DESCRIPTION: BEAR CLAW, APRICOT JAM, OOLONG TEA

WHY WE LOVE IT: New flavors from a long-loved region abound in this excellent example of Brazilian coffee.

REGION: Mogiana

ALTITUDE: 1,200 - 1,350 m

PROCESSING: Natural

VARIETY: Sumatra

In this special release, you'll get the traditional Brazilian notes you love, but they sit alongside something a little more "new" too. The Sumatra variety adds a little spiced pastry sweetness to some rich stonefruit jam notes. As it cools, you'll experience the mouthfeel of an almond, the pleasant earthy bitters of oolong tea, and then its sugary fruitiness.

We are proud to present the work of João Hamilton for a second time. Hailing from his farm in the Mogiana region of Brazil, this reserve lot from our longtime partners at FAF benefits greatly from decades of work to make coffee growing more natural and sustainable.

Single origin coffees from Brazil always get a strong reaction from our team and guests. There's something about their familiar nuttiness mixed with jammy fruits that creates something both comforting and new. It's another perfect snapshot of Brazil's future in specialty coffee and one that we think you'll remember for a long time.
