Sweet. Smooth. Unmistakably Brazil.
Yellow Catuaí is one of the most beloved arabica varieties grown in Sør-Minas Gerais — and this lot from Santa Barbara Farm shows exactly why. The beans turn a vivid golden yellow at peak ripeness, a visual signal of the high sugar concentration that defines this variety. Harvested at altitude on raised drying beds using the natural process, every bean carries the full expression of the land it grew in.
In the cup, expect warmth and comfort with real complexity underneath: rich dark chocolate and caramel on the first sip, layered with toasted hazelnuts and a subtle, lingering sweetness. The body is full, the acidity gentle — a coffee that invites you to slow down.
