Brazil Monte Carmelo • Organic

Earthy sweetness, heavenly scent

Monte Carmelo is one of the finest examples of Brazilian coffee. Monte Carmelo is grown in the misty highlands northwest of Rio where the warm days and cool, rainy nights are perfect for coffee. This large screened coffee is "dry processed" in a manner similar to methods used in Ethiopia for thousands of years. The beans are spread to dry in the sun with the cherry of the bean still attached which imparts an earthy, nutty sweetness to the bean. The deep, satisfying aroma of Monte Carmelo is reason enough to enjoy this coffee. This pleasantly mild coffee with its medium body and light, unassuming acidity, has a hint of citrus blending with the subtle earthy undertones. The earth tones which are imparted by its processing method remain constant throughout its slightly sweet finish. Monte Carmelo is a coffee that can stand on its own merits, both as a medium roast and as a dark roast. In addition, it is ideally suited for blending and is a major component of most espresso blends.
