In the cup: For our anniversary, we developed not just a new blend, but established a new slow roast profile that puts a new spin on our best-selling Old Skool: still classic but smoother, with notes of chocolate, dried fruit and cane sugar. The Old Skool Anniversario blend can be roasted medium to medium dark.
Recommended taken as espresso or with milk.
Old Skool Anniversario
Located in the middle of the Mantiqueira mountain range, Fazenda Rio Verde has been in existence for over 100 years, surrounded by virgin forest which has many waterfalls and beautiful hiking trails. This estate is a true natural sanctuary, where coffee occupies just over 40% of the total area. The soil is predominantly clay on a red mineral volcanic base, rich in decomposable material.
This coffee is prepared with naturally dried cherries, which help preserve their sweetness. After drying the coffee is stored in wooden bins for around two months in order to allow its complex flavour to blend, optimizing the internal moisture level of the beans.
