    I liked this coffee. Brazilian coffee is not typically my favorite, but this one had a bit more of what I like and a bit less of the notes I don't.

    The lead is a big red fruit note. It's nutty, plummy, and a bit funky. There's some caramel/cashew overtones. It's clean, with a little lingering complexity in the funk. I like the description of the guarana from the roaster.

    Seems like a cool roaster here from Portugal and I made a note to check out more of their coffee.

    Cupping Method:Leaderboard S15, Coffee #4. Made with Hario v60, 197F, 18:1.

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
Bean Source Country: Brazil
Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, has traditionally been known for its vast output of commodity-grade coffee, including a significant volume of Robusta beans. However, in recent years, the country has made a concerted effort to enhance the quality of its microlots, aiming to solidify its reputation within the specialty coffee sector including greater cultivation of higher-quality Arabica. These initiatives have contributed to developing coffee microlots with distinct flavor profiles, with Brazilian coffee notably known for rich notes of chocolate, nuts, and fruit.
