Brazil Fazenda Sertao *Auction Lot* Bastiao Nunes - Yellow Bourbon

This coffee is a special microlot from Fazenda Sertao. It's from an auction held by Carmo coffees. The coffee is pure Yellow Bourbon from the Bastiao Nunes block of the farm located at 1300 meters. Nazareth Dias Pereira's farm has been a Cup of Excellence coffee 8 times, which is a testament to the excellence of his coffees. This coffee was vacuum sealed at origin to ensure it arrived as fresh as the auction samples. While this coffee possesses amazing clarity at many roast levels, this batch was roasted to City+ to enjoy sweet and clean flavors rarely tasted in a Brazil coffee.

In the cup it's exceptionally creamy orange and Meyer lemon with a light dusting of cocoa in the middle of the cup. Warm nut and almond skin and warm Pekoe tea as it leaves your tongue. Simply outstanding.
