Solaceiro – Brazil Medium Roast

Description

Solaceiro is a coffee born from the tranquil beauty of Brazil’s Grass Valley, locally known as Vale da Grama. Nestled at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,200 meters, this region’s volcanic soil and temperate climate provide the perfect environment for coffee trees to flourish. The slow maturation of cherries under natural shade enriches the beans with complexity and depth, resulting in a cup that balances fine citric acidity with a full-bodied character. Notes of chocolate, nuts, and berries weave together to create a layered and satisfying flavour experience.

At Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama, tradition and craftsmanship guide every step. Unlike mechanized harvesting, cherries are handpicked to ensure quality, then carefully cleaned using time-honoured methods that separate leaves and twigs. In the wet mill, beans are sorted by density and ripeness, with natural process beans allowed to dry slowly on patios or raised beds. Regular raking prevents fermentation, while advanced sorting technology ensures each bean meets exacting standards. Expert tasters then roast, brew, and sample each batch, approving only coffees that score above 82. With Solaceiro’s score of 84, you can trust in its excellence.

This medium roast was chosen to highlight the bean’s inherent qualities, offering a versatile profile that shines across brewing methods. Whether enjoyed as a lively espresso, a rich French press, or a balanced pourover, Solaceiro delivers a taste of Brazil’s Grass Valley at its finest—a coffee that comforts, uplifts, and invites you to savour its natural harmony.
