- Brown sugar and hazelnut in fragrance and aroma. Notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, nougat, caramel, very mild orange acidity, creamy body, clean and sweet aftertaste of dulce de leche, well balanced.
- Like many natural processed Brazilian coffee, low and slow is our preferred approach with Luzia. The coffee tastes best when sweetness and body are accentuated by a longer roast with higher end temperatures. We find a solid medium roast to be the perfect fit for this coffee, although we have been enjoying its clean and sweet aftertaste on light cupping roasts. Excellent for espresso or adding into blends.

The direct-trade speciality division
is focused on microlots and alternative processing, but also tastes through thousands of samples to create a blend of coffees that fits our target taste profile for the consistent taste profile of our Luzia blend. All of the coffees used in the blend are grown in the state of Minas Gerias, around the town of Tres Pontas.
