Explore Brazil: October 2023

Alquimista is back this month along with the Cerrado Mineiro region and one of its most notable growers, Gabriel Nunes.

Alquimista

Designed for espresso, our Alquimista Espresso Blend shows why great Brazilian coffees are perfect for espresso. Sweet milk chocolate and caramel flavors nuanced with notes of fresh nuts and a touch of citrus make it perfect as a straight espresso or as the espresso component of your morning cappuccino.

Featured Region: Cerrado Mineiro

We head to the high plains of Minas Gerais this month for the Cerrado Mineiro blend. With its rain-free harvest season, the Cerrado Mineiro is a perfect region for crafting clean, dry-processed coffees that result in a sweet, full-bodied cup. The region is also home to some of Brazil’s most innovative and technologically advanced growers.

Featured Grower: Gabriel Nunes

Gabriel Nunes has made a name for himself as one of Brazil’s most consistent and innovative coffee growers. The first grower from the Cerrado Mineiro to win the Cup of Excellence competition, Gabriel continues to innovate, constantly trying out new combinations of plant varieties and unique post-harvest processing techniques to see what responds best to his terroir.
