Why this coffee?
This coffee has been sourced and roasted for fuss free extraction in any manual or fully automatic espresso machine.
For those of us that enjoy a sweet and mellow taste in our cup. Full of chocolate-like aromas with a delicate sweet finish.
This is our attempt at putting chocolatey coffee on a pedestal, without the ashy or astringent flavors that unfortunately so often accompany this style of arabica.
This type of mucilage dried processing was actually invented in Brazil, and this coffee is an excellent example of when it is done with expertise. The sweet milk chocolate flavors we love for Autopilot married with a clean and delicate finish.
Round and chocolatey coffees with depth, can also be elegant.

In the last decade, producers have dedicated all their efforts to producing specialty coffees, using a new organic system on the plantations.
They have been finalists in several editions of the Brazilian Coffee Quality World Cup, including the “gold medal” in 2002.
