Flavor Description

Chapada Diamantina coffees are often mistaken for Central American specialty beans. The washed process yields a clean, bright lemon-peel and red-apple acidity, with a refined cane-sugar sweetness in the finish — a refreshing, surprising non-typical Brazilian coffee.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Recommended water temperature 91–93°C with a slightly finer grind. This more fully unlocks the layered mild acidity of this high-altitude region.
  • Highlight: If you enjoy Yirgacheffe's brightness but still want a hint of Brazilian chocolate base, this bean is the perfect bridge.
