Description

Mike Perry sourced this coffee from one of his annual sourcing trips, hand-selecting the components from two farms located in the Cerro Mineiro region. This natural process coffee starts with a semi-sweet chocolate and bright orange aroma before bringing out flavors of sweet chocolate, toffee candy, and cherry, offering a balanced body and long finish. Mike cups coffee from over 120 different farms to find the perfect beans from Brazil for this Klatch staple, and this year, he doubled the pleasure by blending beans from two farms.

Growing Coffee in Brazil

The Matas de Minas coffee region is in the southeastern part of the Minas Gerais state, with a distinct topography featuring rugged mountain terrains and a mild Brazilian Atlantic Forest climate. The Cerrado Mineiro region, located northwest of the Minas Gerais State, is a world-recognized, high-quality coffee producing origin. In 2005, the Cerrado Mineiro region became the first Protected Geographical Indication in Brazil, and in 2013, it became a full Designation of Origin. A strong characteristic of this region is its well-defined seasons—a hot, wet summer followed by a pleasantly dry winter. The dry climate during harvest eliminates potential problems with humidity during the drying process.

Minas Gerais is Brazil’s principal agricultural state, and the Cerrado is home to many of the country’s celebrated coffee estates, with expertise in planting, harvesting, drying, and sorting. We love Cerrado coffees for their big body, rich chocolate notes, and velvety texture when pulled as espresso.

Today, the area’s 4,500 farmers produce a combined average of 6 million bags per harvest, with an average of 35 bags per hectare. To reach these production levels, producers had to first adapt to the region’s conditions. Coffee farmers first arrived in Cerrado in the 1970s, after being pushed out of the state of Parana by frost, and out of the state of Sao Paolo by nematodes. They found the soil in Cerrado to be very acidic, which they rectified with the application of calcium to create the healthy soils they enjoy today. Cerrado coffee farms are cultivated in areas with elevations varying between 800 and 1,300 meters above sea level, and are known for consistently producing high quality coffees with a repeatable profile. Independent of farm size, the spirit of professionalism is present throughout Cerrado’s coffee producers. Entrepreneurialism is part of the farmers’ DNA, and many producers are second or third generation growers who also hold degrees in agronomic engineering, business management, and administration. While each family narrative is different, Cerrado is characterized by an enterprising attitude.

Finca Santo Antônio-Santa Rita

At the Santo Antônio-Santa Rita farm, farmer Adalberto Zanon dos Santos and Fazenda Riacho das Varas and farmer Ricardo Hirofumi Yoshimatsu both produce Yellow Catuai beans. These farms are located in the Matas de Minas coffee region in the southeastern part of the Minas Gerais state, just over the border from Espirito Santo, with Alto Caparaó as its most recognized of the 63 municipalities that compose the region. With a distinct topography featuring rugged mountain terrains, a mild Brazilian Atlantic Forest climate, and large variations in elevation (between 600 and 1450 meters above sea level), Matas de Minas makes a perfect region for growing specialty coffees. Catuai was developed by the Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas, Brazil by crossing Mundo Novo and Caturra varieties. These lots of Yellow Catuai coffee underwent natural processing.

Finca Chapadão de Ferro lugar Santa Rita

Farmer Edenilson Jose Fornaro and Ernesto Fornaro are located In Paiolinho, Chapadão de Ferro lugar Santa Rita. This farm is located in the Cerrado Mineiro region, northwest of Minas Gerais State. Their natural process Red Catuai lot was developed by the Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas, Brazil by crossing Mundo Novo and Caturra varieties.

Great Coffee

* Klatch Coffee Brazil Klatch Diamond Reserve Medium Roast: This is a medium roast coffee with notes of chocolate, toffee, and cherry. It has medium acidity so it makes a perfect morning coffee. I used a drip coffee maker with 10 grams of coffee per cup.

Everyday morning coffee

I roasted coffee for years in a professional gas 1 lb sample roaster. I loved roasting as a hobby and learned a lot. I no longer roast and only buy from the best roasters. I have purchased from Klatch in the past to compare my roasts to their offerings. I am always impressed with their great coffee. Without a doubt, Klatch is one of the top three roasters in the US. Thank you, Klatch for taking such pride in your craft.
