More about coffees from Central America, Brazil & India
| Central America |
Some excellent coffees come from many parts of Central America. Mainly Arabica Coffee, grown at high altitudes in rich fertile soil. The best El Salvadorans are fragrant, mildly complex, lively and pleasantly gentle where Costa Rican coffee is consistently smooth and fragrant. Prized for their high notes, bright citrus or berry-like flavours in the acidity, with distinctful nut-to-chocolate roasty flavours. Guatemalan coffees, grown at over 5,000 feet, are fruity and nuanced, and they have very good acidity. We usually blend 2 Central American region coffees in our Barista blend. |
| Brazil |
Coffee beans in Brazil are grown at altitudes of only 2,000 to 4,000 feet. Brazilian coffee can be nutty, sweet, low-acid, and develop exceptional bittersweet and chocolate roast tastes but usually uncomplicated. Great for Italian style espresso, these coffees can work well unblended but as with most coffee beans, benefit when blended with high grade arabica coffee. |
| India |
Grown since 1670, Indian coffee beans are becoming more represented in the world coffee market and offer good balance, pronounced body, medium acidity (which can vary from regoin to region) and subtle spicey notes in these mild coffees. Sometimes you find hints of earthiness. Source of good Robusta coffees. |
