Brazil: Fazenda Dutra 14/16, Matas de Minas

Inland from Brazil’s eastern coast, the Matas de Minas region is known for coffees that balance approachability with nuanced sweetness, shaped by rolling terrain and a long tradition of family farming. This organic lot comes from the Dutra family’s operation near São João do Manhuaçu, where careful lot separation and consistent post-harvest handling support a clean, dependable profile year after year. Processed naturally, the coffee is dried with the fruit intact, a method that can deepen sweetness and add a more rounded, fruit-toned complexity while preserving a smooth, easy-drinking structure. Roasted to a medium level, this coffee is built for balance: developed enough to feel soft and cohesive in the cup, while still leaving room for a brighter, citrus-leaning lift to show through. It’s a versatile option that works well across brew methods and appeals to customers who want a composed daily coffee with an organic foundation and a profile that feels both polished and expressive without becoming heavy.
