Fazenda Sertão Brazil

Roaster Location:Tulsa, Oklahoma

Review Date:May 2016

Blind Assessment: Delicate, nut-toned, sweetly spicy. Pistachio, honeysuckle, clove, molasses, baker’s chocolate in aroma and cup. Subtle, crisply tart acidity; buoyant, satiny mouthfeel. Clove and pistachio animate the quietly flavor-saturated finish.

Notes: Produced from trees of the Yellow and Red Bourbon and Catuai varieties of Arabica. A “natural” or dry-processed coffee, which means the beans or seeds were dried encased in the entire fruit. Naturals form the backbone of the Brazil coffee industry, but this lot reflects a particularly refined approach to the method. This coffee tied for the second-highest rating in a test of natural-processed Brazil coffees conducted for Coffee Review's May 2016 tasting report. Topéca Coffee is an artisan roaster with three café locations and a roastery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Visit www.topecacoffee.com or call 918-398-8022 for more information.

The Bottom Line: A crisp, sweetly spicy and nut-toned cup.
