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.

Sítio Baixadão, owned by producer Helisson Afonso da Silva, son of the 2015 COE Natural champion, Sebastião Afonso da Silva, has 11 hectares of coffee plantations at an average altitude of 1350 meters.

They cultivates the following varieties: Yellow and Red Catuaí, Acaiá, and Yellow Bourbon.

Together, they manage small farms in the city of Cristina, located in the Mantiqueira de Minas Geographical Indication region, which, through a combination of soil, climate, and elevation, along with the tradition of coffee cultivation, is recognized as one of the most awarded regions in Brazil.

The family stopped cultivating rice to work in coffee production and is now reaping the rewards of their dedicated and meticulous work. The Silva family's coffees are recognized worldwide for their complexity and unique characteristics.

Helisson has learned everything from his father and is now passionate about the world of coffee. Another important factor is respect for nature; the family has a sustainable coffee production, preserving the flora and fauna on their properties.

The harvest is done selectively by hand; the beans are picked and taken to the processing center. Drying takes place in patios under the sun and, if necessary, is finished in dryers that ensure even drying, preserving quality.

The coffee is finally stored in the Cocarive (Cooperativa Carmo de Minas) warehouse, which has a marketing area with a department entirely dedicated to these high-quality coffees.
