This natural process Red Catuai from Minas Gerais offers a comforting, sweet-forward profile. The processing highlights a pronounced sweetness reminiscent of a chocolate donut, providing a soft, pastry-like quality to the cup. Acidity remains very mellow and integrated, allowing the subtle notes of raspberry to sit gently in the background. It is a structured and reliable coffee with a straightforward complexity that feels honest and accessible. As an omni-roast, it provides a deep, cocoa-heavy base for espresso or a rounded, fruit-accented filter brew.
About the producer: Casa Almeida is a key contributor to the Neighbours Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This initiative focuses on supporting small-scale producers like Jorge Barreto by providing access to technical resources and quality-focused infrastructure. By working collaboratively, these farms can refine their processing techniques and reach the specialty market more effectively. The project emphasizes community-driven quality, ensuring consistent lots that showcase the regional characteristics.
About the varietal: Red Catuai is a highly productive dwarf variety resulting from a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra. It is widely cultivated across Brazil due to its resilience and the compact size of the trees, which facilitates harvesting. In the cup, Red Catuai is valued for its ability to deliver a heavy body and significant sweetness. When processed naturally, it often develops a very clean, chocolate-driven profile with subtle red fruit characteristics.
About the process: The Natural (Dry) process for coffee involves drying whole cherries to let the beans absorb fruit flavours. Ripe cherries are handpicked and sorted, then spread out to dry in the sun for two to four weeks. During this time, they are turned regularly to ensure even drying and prevent mold. Once dried, the outer layers are removed, revealing the green beans inside. This method produces coffee with fruity, sweet notes and a fuller body. However, it requires careful management and is best suited for regions with dry climates.
