Brazil Dry Process Donésio Silvério
Creamy Brazil cup, cocoa and nut toned, with bittersweetness that will pair nicely with milk. Notes of sorghum syrup, walnut, dried fruit hint, cedar smoke in the long finish. City+ to Full City+. Good for espresso.
Full Cupping Notes
Savory-sweet notes like toffee peanut are released when grinding the coffee, along with hints of rustic dried date pieces. There's more of a bittersweet quality in the wet aroma, with a walnut note, and very faint cooked fruit accents. I found the cup sweetness pretty convincing, with bittering aspects on the periphery, and surprising fruit and acidity considering origin. This should be taken in context of the average bittersweet/nutty Brazilian coffee. It's not a "fruity" coffee, nor do I consider it "bright"! That said, what starts off as cocoa and nut toned, cools to interesting accents of dried apricot and fig, with notes of sorghum, and hazelnut. Full City roasts round off any acidic impression to a much more two-dimensional, bittersweet/creamy cup, and one that pairs well with milk. It's thick and chocolaty, very lightly accented by a prune note, with some cedar smoke in the long finish.

Origin & Farm Notes
Donésio Silvério's farm is located in Minas Geraís' Southern region, situated in the rolling Mantiqueira de Minas mountainside. While we haven't visited his farm yet, it's called Sitio Serra dos Borges, and spans an altitude range of 1000 to 1300 meters. Farms in this region are typically planted in a mix of Bourbon and disease resistent hybrids, like Arara, Mundo Novo, Obata and others. This particular lot was dry processed, meaning the whole coffee cherries were dried with the seeds intact. In Brazil, dry process coffee is known for big round body and low acidity, and often a go-to base ingredient for blending. The climate in the area is ideal for producing naturals and this lot exemplifies. Like most Brazilian coffees the cup quality is bolstered significantly with rest after roasting. We prefer at least 48 hours!
