Origin Story and Craft

On the lush slopes of Espírito Santo, Brazil, producer Waldir Manske cultivates Yellow Caturra at 1,100 meters on Sítio Alto Santa Joana. This elevation, combined with careful picking and the nuanced honey process (also known as pulped natural), gives this specialty coffee its distinctive character. The fruit’s mucilage is left on the seed during drying, encouraging natural sugars to infuse the bean and enriching its sweetness and complexity. Black Tucano Coffee Roasters then roasts with precision to showcase the terroir-driven profile: think warm cane molasses, golden honey, and a pop of raspberry brightness carried by a supple, velvety body.

Flavor You Can Feel

This is the kind of single-origin that rewards attention. The first aroma hints at caramelized sugar and honeycomb. On the palate, syrupy sweetness meets a ruby-toned berry note-raspberry that’s clean and lifted rather than jammy-supported by a medium, rounded acidity that keeps each sip composed. The finish is lingering and plush, with a cocoa-tinged afterglow that makes it as at home in a cappuccino as it is in a stripped-down espresso or a delicate pour-over.

Brewing Guidance

Whether you’re new to brewing or a seasoned home barista, this coffee kit was chosen for versatility across methods. Start with filtered water at 200°F (93°C) and adjust to taste.

Pour-Over (V60, Kalita, or Similar)

• Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300g water)
• Grind: Medium-fine-granulated sugar texture
• Method: Bloom with 2–3x the coffee weight for 30–45 seconds, then pour in steady spirals to finish around 2:45–3:10. Expect layered sweetness with clear raspberry highlights and a long, honeyed finish.

Espresso

• Ratio: 1:2 (e.g., 18g in, ~36g out)
• Time: 27–32 seconds
• Taste: Syrupy body with cane molasses and honey upfront, a soft raspberry lift through the center, and a plush aftertaste that shines in macchiatos and cappuccinos.

Immersion (French Press or AeroPress)

• Ratio: 1:15 to 1:16
• Time: 3:30–4:00 for French press; 2:00–2:30 for AeroPress with a gentle press
• Notes: Expect increased body and a comforting sweetness, with the molasses and honey notes front and center.

As with any specialty coffee, freshness and grind consistency matter. Store in a cool, dry place, grind just before brewing, and tweak dose, grind, and temperature to amplify either sweetness or brightness as you prefer.

Why This Coffee Kit Stands Out

• Single-Origin Transparency: From one place and one producer-so you taste the unique story of Sítio Alto Santa Joana in every cup.
