Blind Assessment
In the aroma high-toned and delicate, complicated by sweet spice and suggestions of flowers and chocolate. The cup is low in acidity and dominated by a crisp nutty fruit, raisins and walnuts perhaps, with a continuing shimmer of floral chocolate. A very slight astringency surfaces as the cup cools.
Notes
Fazenda Cachoeira is an old and lovely family farm operated with profound respect for workers, neighboring small farmers, and the environment. Jennifer Stone, owner of Stone Cup Roasting, a quality-oriented wholesale and retail roaster in Chattanooga, and Mirian Monteiro de Aguiar, who operates Fazenda Cachoeira along with her husband Rogerio, are both women who are successfully competing in an industry still largely dominated by men.

Who Should Drink It
This coffee, probably from last year's crop and a bit faded, still exhibits the combination of crisp fruit and floral delicacy characteristic of the best traditional Brazil coffees.
