Brazil, Reinaldo Gomes, Natural

Reinaldo Gomes spent his childhood helping his father manage the family coffee farm in Alta Mogiana. Little did he know that his father was preparing him to take over the operations once he was old enough to manage it himself, and had acquired the know-how to see the harvest through from start to finish. Nowadays, Reinaldo oversees the farm with the help of his 20 year-old son, so that the torch can be passed once more. Their farm is called Nossa Senhora da Aparecida, and sits at approximately 850 meters above sea level in the Alta Mogiana growing region near Sao Paulo's northern border. They are growing mostly Cauaí, and Mundo Novo varieties, and produce natural process coffee, a method that involves drying the coffee after harvest with the whole coffee cherry intact that surrounds the seeds (beans). Brewing Method Recommendation: Espresso and heavily dosed filter brew are our favorites methods for this balanced coffee. Filter/Pourover Recipe Dose · 26g  Water ·
