Coava sourced this delightfully rich coffee from the tiny region of Aroponga in Minas Gerais, where significant investment has been made to improve the cultivation standards. It went through Brazil’s signature pulped natural method: the skin of coffee cherries was peeled off before drying, resulting in the sweet, full body of a traditional natural process with the acidity and brightness of a washed process. We tasted roasted nuts, dark chocolate, with a red apple acidity and a smooth tea-like body.
