This coffee is produced by our friend Gabriel Barreto. Gabriel is a coffee producer based in Minas Gerais in the southeastern part of Brazil. This lot is Natural processed Yellow Catucai. With careful attention to detail and know-how in fermentation techniques Gabriel and the team at Araucária farm have really done a great job in their short journey into coffee farming.

Together with his family Gabriel operates Casa Almeida Barreto. Producing coffee and exporting their own crop as well as handling the logistics and importing to European market Casa Almeida Barreto is truly an ambitious project. We are proud to have been part of this journey since their first export, exclusively buying all our Brazilian coffee from Gabriel. 

This lot from Gabriel stood out for us for its elevated apple like acidity and lighter body and more fruit driven profile. Overall this lot has great clarity and high sweetness. Works really well on espresso as well.
