WHY WE LIKE IT
This coffee is a must in our pantry. It has the mild acidity of a sweet apple, notes of biscuit dough and an aftertaste of caramel. If you drink it on its own, you'll find nice and smooth flavours, if you drink it with milk it will be as sweet as a dessert.

HISTORY
The Cerrado Mineiro Region is a world-renowned producer of high quality coffee, the first "Denomination of Origin" in Brazil, located in the northwest of the state of Minas Gerais.
Having well defined seasons, a hot and humid summer and a pleasantly dry winter, is a strong characteristic of the region. The coffee plantations are cultivated in areas with altitudes varying between 800 and 1,300 meters, resulting in high quality coffees with a unique identity.
The coffees are "Origin and Quality Guaranteed" by the Regulatory Council of the Cerrado Mineiro Region - D.O.
