Brazil

STUDIO CAFFEINE's approach

We primarily look for sweetness, clean cup and consistency for Brazilian coffee. Mainly served as the blend base as  it offers low acidity, good taste balance and a round mouthfeel. All purposed and suitable for black, white, iced coffee.

Recommended for Blended and Single Origin Espresso
