Brazil Fazenda Das Almas
Tastes Like: Cherry Liqueur Dark Chocolate Plum Raspberry
The Das Almas Estate has been operated by the Muniz family since 1942. Coffee at the estate was processed by steam power until 1965 as the farm had no electricity until then. The name 'Almas' comes from the Portuguese for 'souls', as the area was populated by immigrants from Portugal and they would hold religious ceremonies at the highest elevations to be closer to heaven.
Expect a boozy complex cup with notes of cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, plum and raspberry. A smooth and heavy mouthfeel carries a light orange acidity and a macadamia nut finish.
Available for either espresso or filter coffee brewing.
