The Roasterie

Brazil Fazenda Lagoa Natural

Roaster Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Roast Level: Medium
Agtron: 47/56
Review Date: May 2002
Aroma: 6
Acidity: 5
Body: 7
Flavor: 7

Blind Assessment

Sweet, low-key, gentle. Displays muted musty/mildew tones that, combined with the essential sweetness of the coffee, read agreeably as malt or dry spice.

Notes

This coffee, from the classic Brazilian growing region of south Minas Gerais, is a natural dry-processed coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the coffee fruit rather than after removal of the fruit, as in the wet process. The Roasterie is a leading, quality-oriented specialty roaster that emphasizes its commitment to "air roasting," a technology utilizing a column of hot air rather than the conventional turning drum to agitate the roasting beans. Visit www.theroasterie.com or call 800-376-0245 for more info.

Who Should Drink It

Should please acidity-avoiders with its subtle, malty sweetness.
