BRAZIL BLUE - WASHED

COFFEE PROFILE

A clean and structured take on classic Brazilian coffee, offering refined sweetness and clarity in the cup. Aromas of cocoa and roasted nuts lead into flavours of milk chocolate, hazelnut, and soft stone fruit, supported by a gentle acidity and creamy body. The washed process enhances balance and definition, resulting in a smooth, polished finish.

About the Coffee

Brazil Blue Washed represents a more focused and vibrant expression of Brazilian Arabica, selected for its cup quality and consistency. Unlike the more common natural-processed Brazils, this washed lot highlights clarity and brightness while maintaining the comforting chocolate and nut base the origin is known for.

Produced across established coffee-growing regions, this style of Brazil is ideal for roasters seeking a clean, versatile component—equally suited for single origin offerings or as a stabilising base in blends.

Cultivation and Processing

Grown at elevations between 1,000 and 1,300 masl, Brazilian coffee benefits from a combination of warm days, cool nights, and well-defined seasons that support even cherry development. Farms are typically medium to large in size, with a strong focus on efficient harvesting and processing practices.

For this washed lot, ripe cherries are selectively harvested, pulped, and fermented to remove mucilage before being thoroughly washed and dried. This method enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness while bringing forward a cleaner acidity and more transparent flavour profile compared to traditional natural processing.

Common varietals include Mundo Novo, Catuai, and Bourbon, all of which contribute to the cup’s body, sweetness, and balance.

Brazil’s Coffee Legacy

As the world’s largest coffee producer, Brazil has long been synonymous with reliability, scale, and approachable flavour profiles. While naturals dominate production, washed coffees like Brazil Blue showcase the country’s evolving focus on quality and diversity in processing.

With ongoing investment in agronomy, processing infrastructure, and traceability, Brazil continues to refine its offerings—delivering coffees that balance tradition with modern expectations of clarity and consistency.
