This limited-edition nanolot comes from Brazil and was crafted by Jorge Barreto at Casa Almeida. Grown with meticulous care and harvested at peak ripeness, this exclusive lot reflects the passion and precision behind every step of its journey. The cherries were processed in award-winning stainless steel tanks using the innovative carbonic maceration method, enhancing complexity and clarity in the cup. This technique brings out a vibrant sweetness and expressive red fruit character while maintaining remarkable balance. Expect notes of ripe berries and a delicate jam-like richness, layered with a silky texture. The result is a sweet, red-fruited profile without heaviness, delivering elegance and vibrancy in every sip.
About the producer: Casa Almeida is a key contributor to the Neighbours Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This initiative focuses on supporting small-scale producers like Jorge Barreto by providing access to technical resources and quality-focused infrastructure. By working collaboratively, these farms can refine their processing techniques and reach the specialty market more effectively. The project emphasizes community-driven quality, ensuring consistent lots that showcase the regional characteristics.
About the varietal: Red Catuai is a highly productive dwarf variety resulting from a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra. It is widely cultivated across Brazil due to its resilience and the compact size of the trees, which facilitates harvesting. In the cup, Red Catuai is valued for its ability to deliver a heavy body and significant sweetness. When processed naturally, it often develops a very clean, chocolate-driven profile with subtle red fruit characteristics.
About the process: Carbonic Maceration is this process, whole coffee cherries are placed in sealed, oxygen-free tanks that are often purged with CO2. This anaerobic environment allows fermentation to occur within the fruit, breaking down sugars slowly and under controlled pressure. This technique, borrowed from winemaking, often results in highly defined flavor profiles with a pronounced, wine-like acidity and distinct fruit notes. It requires precise monitoring of temperature and pH levels to ensure a clean, consistent result that highlights the coffee's inherent complexity.
