Boas Festas Holiday Blend

Boas Festas means “Happy Holidays” in Portuguese — and this seasonal blend is our way of saying it in coffee. Comforting notes of chocolate and roasted nuts meet undertones of dried red fruits and spicy mulled wine. In short, it tastes like the holidays feel.

How We Blend Boas Festas

Each year, we build Boas Festas Holiday Blend from natural and washed coffees grown in the Sul de Minas, one of Brazil’s classic coffee regions. The washed lots bring clarity and gentle sweetness. Meanwhile, the naturals dry inside the whole cherry, where slow fermentation builds the deeper fruit tones that give this blend its festive character. We roast it to a balanced medium, so the comfort notes stay front and center.

What’s in the Cup

Think chocolate and roasted nuts first, followed by dried red fruit and a warming hint of spice. The body is smooth and cozy, while the finish lingers like mulled wine by the fire. Consequently, this coffee pairs beautifully with holiday baking, slow mornings, and a full house. It shines as drip or French press, and it makes a rich, dessert-like espresso too. For filter brewing, start with a 1:16 ratio and adjust to taste; for espresso, a slightly longer ratio softens the spice into caramel sweetness.
