Tasting note
NEW HARVEST 2021/2022
The precursor of Brazilian specialty coffee for a fine and smooth cup.
- On the nose: notes of honey and almond.
- On the palate: a creamy body with notes of milk chocolate and sugar cane, on a discreet acidity. A nice balanced and gourmet finish.
This coffee is roasted for espresso methods.
What is a score?
Our product range is categorised by score: 80+, 85+, 88+ We have the "Specialty Coffee Association of America" to thank for the system of "scores", who defined a very strict ratings protocol to evaluate the quality of speciality coffee. This ratings system enables players within the sector, as well as coffee lovers, to share a common language. Within this tasting protocol, the main criteria for the evaluation of a coffee are noted: odour, aroma, after-taste, acidity, body, harmony, purity...
The final score classifies the coffee within a hierarchy unique to speciality coffee. The coffee must achieve a score of at least 80/100 to be considered a speciality coffee.
A detailed look at the scores attributed to speciality coffee:
Our blends, being mixtures of multiple coffees, are excluded from the rating system, although they are all comprised of speciality coffees.
*The SCAA classifies 90+ coffees as "Outstanding". We consider an 88+ coffee to reflect a quality that is already outstanding, already representing the excellence of the sector. In this regard, it is a Grand Cru.
Sourcing note
The FAF farm is our main partner in Brazil. The Croce family was able to convert their farm as well as several dozen small farms in the vicinity to respect nature, sustainability and to process coffees within the rules of the art. Bob-o-Link is the name of a migratory bird formerly missing from the region, now gradually nesting again thanks to reforestation and environmentally friendly practices.
A speciality coffee
Speciality coffee are the best batches of coffee from farms or local cooperatives. They are fully traceable (botanical variety, region, plot) and respect demanding processing methods. This guarantees exceptional quality in the cup.
