Blind Assessment
Delicately acidy but slightly bitter cup displays a subtle but impressive array of aromatic and flavor notes: vanilla and fresh leather in the nose, dry chocolate, flowers, and lemon in the cup.
Notes
Fazenda Wagner, operated by the third generation of the Ferrero family, is located in the Cerrado Mineiro region, at an altitude of 1,080 meters. As a green coffee, a 2001 Brazil Cup of Excellence competition winner. A pulped natural or semi-dry-processed coffee, meaning the skin was removed from the fruit but the fruit pulp was allowed to remain clinging to the beans during drying. The pulped natural method generally produces a low-key but gently bright, often fruity cup. The Coffee Tree Roasters are a quality-oriented retail and wholesale specialty roaster. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy high-toned complexity and light-bodied, dry wines.
