Brazil Cerrado SC 17/18 Fine Cup Natural: The Classic Sweetness of Brazil’s Cerrado
From the renowned coffee-growing plains of the Cerrado Mineiro in Brazil, this SC 17/18 Fine Cup Natural showcases the region’s signature balance, sweetness, and consistency. Known for its distinct wet and dry seasons, the Cerrado provides ideal harvesting conditions—allowing cherries to mature evenly on the tree and be dried under clear, stable skies.
Graded SC 17/18 (Screen 17/18), these larger beans represent excellent physical quality and uniformity, while the Fine Cup designation reflects a clean, sweet, and well-balanced profile typical of top-tier regional lots.
Process: Naturally processed (‘natural’)—whole coffee cherries are dried with the fruit intact, enabling sugars to develop deep sweetness, smooth body, and nutty chocolate complexity.
Altitude: 800–1,200 masl, contributing to a soft, rounded acidity and approachable cup profile.
Harvest & Processing: Mechanically harvested with careful sorting to ensure ripeness, followed by patio drying under the region’s dry climate. Controlled drying preserves clarity while enhancing body and sweetness.
