Tasting Notes: Cocoa Liqueur • Almond • Apricot Brazil by Dabov is among Brazil’s finest. A sweet, velvety cup with rich cocoa liqueur, hints of almond, and a delicate apricot finish. This natural-processed Yellow Bourbon from the Renato Ishihara farm showcases the best of Brazilian specialty coffee. The Renato Ishihara farm sits in the Mogiana region of São Paulo state, one of Brazil’s most prestigious coffee-growing areas. Grown at 1,100 masl, the Yellow Bourbon variety is prized for its inherent sweetness and low acidity. The cherries are carefully natural-processed and dried on patios under the Brazilian sun, developing the rich chocolatey depth and nutty character that make this lot exceptional. Renato’s meticulous approach to farming and processing consistently produces specialty-grade lots sought after by roasters across Europe. Brewing Recommendation: Best enjoyed as espresso or moka pot for a rich, full-bodied experience. Pair with almond biscotti or a slice of apricot tart.
