    • 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. Check out our Roast Approach on this coffee here.

All of the coffees used in the blend are grown in the state of Minas Gerias, around the town of Tres Pontas.

    Have grown to love this coffee

    You might have seen my rating of 3 stars awhile back. I spoke too soon. After a half dozen small roasts I have it dialed in and really look forward to every cup from my Aeropress. I roast it light (but not too light) and start drinking it at day 7 or later. It gets better with age. Solid every day cup!

    Hey Bill, thanks for taking the time to update your review!

    Really glad that this coffee is hitting the every-day-profile for you. We also used this coffee in our recent Roasting Championship so we got to taste ~70 different variations on it. The best roasts were very smooth, sweet and had a nice nougat note to them.

    A phenomenal cup of coffee. This bean is everything I think if when it comes to espresso. Great from light to dark roast levels. Heavy and creamy body very delicious.

    It is essential

    I'm a recent first-time purchaser from Hacea after seeing the clearly well-deserved support from Black City Coffee Roaster.

    I picked up a few items, including this coffee. If there were a platonic form for coffee, it would be this one.

    I'm completely blown away. It's deep, complex, and undoubtedly chocolatey. It actually matches the description listed on the site (whoever does the tasting is right on). I also picked up some peach when the brew had cooled significantly.

    Thank you for the experience,
    Jordan

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Jordan!

    Glad you are enjoying this coffee from Brazil and that our tasting notes are lining up for you. I have not caught a peach note in this coffee before, but I will certainly keep an eye out for it during our next tasting.
