It’s that time of year again folks! For our annual seasonal offering this year we’ve decided to put together a beautiful 60 / 40 blend of two natural process coffees from Brazil & Myanmar which we’re excited to share with you all.
The first component of this blend is a natural Topazio from Fazenda Boqueirão, Patrocínio in the Minas Gerais region of south-eastern Brazil. As you would expect from a natural Brazilian coffee, it’s pleasantly smooth and full-bodied, and was the ideal first choice when putting this blend together.
We decided to pair the Topazio with a beautifully complex Red Catuai from A Lel Chaung Village, Ywangan in Shan State, eastern Myanmar. We’re constantly intrigued by the sheer variety of flavours waiting to be discovered within this particular coffee. For this blend, we decided to develop the roast further than our usual single origin offering for this coffee, in order to fully unlock the rich almond and subtle citrus notes which we thought would pair perfectly together with the Brazilian beans.
After tasting several different blend ratios, we felt that a 60% Brazil / 40% Myanmar mix was the best way to let each individual coffee’s qualities shine through, as well as complement one-another. Mellow citrus flavours develop into creamy marzipan notes, and linger on the pallet with a sweet, syrupy mouthfeel. This is a balanced and comforting coffee; perfect to brew up on Christmas morning, or as a welcome little refresher after polishing off your Christmas dinner…or maybe as a much needed pick-me-up on New Year’s Day after overdoing it the night before.
