This Yellow Bourbon is produced by Fazenda Sertaozinho located in the south of the state of Minas Gerais. It's a mountainous region with an average altitude of 4000 feet. It has an average annual temperature of 18C or 65 degrees F and an annual rainfall of 1600 ml. The cherry of Yellow Bourbons are bright yellow when fully ripe; the cup is very bright and sweet with nutty flavors. Harvesting is done manually and the coffee has no contact with the soil being collected directly onto cloth. In the natural or dry process at Fazenda Sertaozinho ripe cherries are taken to the drying patio or raised beds and are husked when they reach a humidity of 11%. As the coffee is dried with its mucillage there is a migration of the sugar from the pulp to the bean which makes the taste full bodied and sweet. The family which owns the farm provides housing for the permanent workers and a school for the 60 or so children who live on the property. The quality of the coffee produced by Fazenda Sertaozinho is a result of dedication and care during all coffee production stages, from the selections of the nursery trees and plantation to harvesting and processing. Cup Characteristics: Earthy, robust, medium heavy body with milk chocolate aftertaste. Tart with lemon-citrus note, floral notes of jasmine. Sweet with delicate acidity. Roasting Notes: Depends on your intended use. As an espresso blend component, for which it's very well suited, you can run the gamut from City+, a lightness you might see in Northern Italian styles, but this coffee would be terrific at a Viennese roast level, past second crack but pulled before caramelization. Some might want it darker still but at that point much of the sweetness would be gone.
