About The Coffee

Brazil Natural 17/18 NY 2/3 SSFC

Brazil is a well-known coffee producing giant. They source around one-third of the world's coffee, making them the largest coffee producer in the globe! Of course, most of this is lower grade Arabica. However, this country is capable of producing specialty coffees.

This particular type is a standard specialty quality coffee. It is dry-processed, meaning the beans are patio-dried while they are still in the cherry. Since the coffees are dried in contact with the sweet mucilage, the coffee's cup profile will be heavy in body, sweet, smooth, and complex.

Grading

  • NY (New York) 2/3;  specifies the quality is standard to the Green Coffee Association of New York. 2/3 refers to the amount of defects permitted in the lot; a maximum of nine secondary defects, and no primary defects.
  • SSFC (Strictly Soft Fine Cup); Strictly Soft beans are grown at relatively low altitudes (under 1200 meters). Beans grown at lower altitudes mature quickly and produce a lighter, less dense bean. This term also means the beans are free of hard rioy taints. Fine Cup means it is a specialty grade coffee.
  • 17/18 refers to the screen size. These beans are one screen size larger than 14/16, denoting a larger bean. Larger bean size is generally linked to higher quality

Ethiopia Djimmah G5

Ethiopia is famed for the unique flavours of its coffee, and it’s unusually distinct and elegant floral, herbal and citrus notes.

Despite being the claimed birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia is now the 5th largest producer of coffee in the world, and it holds 5% of the world’s market.

Coffees producers in this region are mainly smallholders, but they produce a large proportion of Ethiopia’s coffee (around 50%).
