Not every coffee that comes into our roastery is about juice or acidity. The reality is that we love classic nutty chocolaty Brazilian coffees as they fill two very important criteria. In no particular order; they bring stability to an espresso blend, like Formula 6, and also they just make tasty un-challenging filter coffee, that pleases almost everyone. We have worked with the Contini family for years now. They are such a big part of our business and humble with it. It is always a pleasure to visit.
Vargem Grande Estate is a small family estate that was championed by the late and amazing Erna Knudson. If you have a few minutes, I think she was quite an inspiration and worth every second!
