- Brazil "Cerrado" Natural
Country: Brazil

Estate: Oberon
Price: $12.00 lb
Cerrado is in the highlands of the western Minas Gerais region. This estate’s coffee is grown at an elevation between 3000-4000 ft. Brazil produces 40% of the world’s coffee and only in the past few years has it entered the high-end specialty market. Brazil has many coffee varietals, from Caturra, Catuai, Catimor to Bourbon and Yellow Bourbon. This gives their coffees a wide range of flavor profiles. Their processing is very interesting. They do a natural coffee, dried in-the-fruit; a semi-washed with some of the mucilage left on the bean, and a fully washed coffee. This coffee has good body and aroma, a natural sweetness finishing with soft nutty tones.

Geisha is a varietal of coffee that was taken from Ethiopia, the birth place of coffee, in the 1930’s. Originally it was called Gesha. Over the years the name was changed to Geisha, probably because of the Japanese who aggressively seek this coffee. The profile for this coffee is intensely floral with notes of jasmine. Taste characteristics are complex with honey and passion fruit, combined with hints of mango.

They have their own cupping lab as well. A finely run cooperative. This coffee’s nose is intensely floral, giving way to a full-bodied presence in the mouth followed by the smoothest of finishes. One of Java Pura’s in-house favorites.

Yirgacheffe is in the southern part of Ethiopia and is one of the most sought after coffees from Ethiopia. Traditionally it is a fully washed coffee but in the last few years they have experimented with dried, in-the-cherry coffee or “natural process”. Misty Valley is this type of coffee and is one of the most exceptional coffees we have tasted. Yirgacheffe coffee is grown at the 6000- 8000 ft level, making it one of the highest grown coffees in the world. The flavor is what is referred to as wild. Fruity with a definite blueberry aroma in the cup and a finish of chocolate tinged berries. This coffee is not always available because it is hard to develop this flavor profile season to season.

After the genocide in Rwanda it took years for the coffee industry to come back. Most of the coffee is farmed by women due to the loss of man power due to the rebellion.
