This coffee is Carbonic Macerated Red Catuai produced by our friend Gabriel Barreto. Showcasing the extended fermentation with the cherry skins in a sealed stainless steel tanks Gabriel is also using for fermenting wine they produce on the farm. The traditional Natural Red Catuai lot is more balanced and traditional in a sense compared to this lot right here. Same cherries but meticulously sorted the CM processing yields totally different flavour profile from the traditional Natural process done on the farm.

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. 

Expect bright acidity and rich tropical fruit character in the cup with banana like creamy and rich sweetness.
