This is our third year of purchasing coffee from Marciano-san.
His coffee has become somewhat our stable of Brazilian coffee at Kurasu- despite the fact that for small-scale producers it is very difficult to produce high-quality coffee consistently year after year, they produced another beautiful crop, and we are so grateful to be able to share his wonderful coffee yet again this year.
While this year’s lot does not feel like it has a lot of different flavors, you will find a moist and tender sweetness like a dried persimmon fruit and a mellow, green tea-like flavor, boasting the beautiful terroir of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Another thing to look for in the cup is a black currant-like pleasant acidity that lasts rather nicely throughout.
It’s a coffee that tastes like a typical Brazilian coffee, yet atypical at the same time.
Makes a great everyday coffee.
