Horsham Coffee Roaster: Brazil, Recanto, Pulped Natural

We have been buying coffee from Recanto in Brazil for 4 years and every year we've been very impressed with the quality. Recanto is large farm located inside an extinct volcano. This means that the coffee grows in some of the best soil in Brazil.

The farm is owned and run by Marcos Cezar Miaki. He focuses on growing several different varietals and seperating these during the harvest to create a variety of different lots. This year we have selected a pulped natural process harvested from Acaia coffee trees. This is a rare varietal typically only grown in Brazil and is a mutation of Mundo Novo which originally developed as a hybrid of the Typica and Bourbon varietals. Recanto is both UTZ and Rainforest Alliance certified.

We've selected this coffee to use both as a single origin and a blend component. It's a fairly traditional Brazil with lovely nutty, chocolate and well balanced stone fruit notes. If you like lower acidity coffees with nutty flavours then this one is definitely for you!

Brewing

This coffee works well with filter brewers, cafetiere and espresso. For filter/cafetiere we recommend a 1 - 16 brew ratio, and for espresso a 1 - 2.5 brew ratio.

Example - Filter/Cafetiere: 15g - 250ml // Espresso: 18g - 45g
