Blossom Espresso

60% of the latest iteration comes from Jacinto Hoffmann at his farm Sitio Boa Vista in the municipality of Afonso Cláudio in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Unlike the majority of coffee in Brazil which is processed via the natural or pulped natural method, Espírito Santo’s coffees are typically washed which often leads to cleaner, more complex profiles. Jacinto’s washed catuai is an excellent example of this: Sitio Boa Vista is fantastically clean and provides the blend with a round texture and pleasing sweet notes of caramel and dark chocolate.

The remaining 40% of the blend comes from Mártir, a group of 18 producers located in La Plata, Colombia. This group has a meticulous and inspiring approach to growing the highest quality and most consistent coffee possible, and we’re proud to be buying from them for a fourth consecutive season. This is a washed process mix of caturra, colombia, castillo and typica varieties, and the result is a sweetness-forward coffee which adds a ripe fruit character and a soft, clean acidity to the blend.
