As the crops change, so do the components of our Red Brick, highlighting harvest cycles and celebrating the seasonality of coffee. We've combined the great fruit qualities from each component, and allowed the sweetness to shine.
55% SERRANIA
Country COLOMBIA
30% CACHOEIRA DA GRAMA
Country BRAZIL
15% SERRA DO BONÉ
Country BRAZIL
Our current seasonal blend is a mix of 55% La Serrania from Colombia, 30% Cachoeira Da Grama and 15% Serra Do Boné both from Brazil.
We’re finding the La Serrania gives lots of soft pear acidity with an orange zest finish which is balanced out with almond notes and date sweetness from the Cachoeira Da Grama and Serra Do Boné. This blend is forcast to last until April.
