Roast: Espresso
Samba Reserve is our classic espresso: a blend of naturally processed coffees from selected growers in Carmo de Minas, in the south of Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's most renowned specialty regions. Grown at 1,000–1,300 metres on red latosol soils, with traceability down to farm level. Only the ripest cherries are picked, then sorted in a “lavador”, the density separator used across Brazil to remove lighter, lower-quality beans. The coffee dries in the sun on patios for three days and is finished in mechanical dryers for 72 hours or more, until it reaches its ideal moisture. In the cup it is sweet, round and reliable, with caramel, orange and milk chocolate: ideal on its own or with milk.
