Tropical
Cerrado Mineiro is a large and predominantly flat region in the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. According to The Cerrado Coffee Growers Federation (CCGF), this region accounts for 12.7% of Brazil’s annual production.
This region is also the first in Brazil to receive a protected designation of origin status, meaning coffee labeled "Cerrado" has to actually come from Cerrado. The designation of origin is one of the many steps towards increased traceability in the region. However, the status isn’t just about traceability, it’s also about the quality and diversity of flavours. According to the CCGF, the designation of origin is a demarcated territory that produces a coffee with unique characteristics that cannot be found anywhere else.
This coffee is sourced from Danilo Barbosa and his farm Fazenda Cachoeira in Cerrado Mineiro. For the Barbosas, coffee has been a family affair for a long time. Already in the twentieth century, Elias Barbosa, great-grandfather of Danilo Barbosa, was growing coffee. Today, Danilo, his sons, Victor Marcelo and Sergio Ricardo, his wife and daughter-in-law all work together.
The resulting cup reminds us of candied pineapple, lemon and stone fruit.

Comme deuxième sac Th3rdwave de juillet, on m'a offert le Tropical torréfié par Escape de Montréal. Il s'agit d'un Catuai jaune anaérobique naturel de la région de Cerrado Mineiro, Brésil. J'ai fait un pour over V60 avec 25g de grain et 390ml d'eau environ.
Le nom se manifeste déjà beaucoup à l'odeur du grain, alors que des notes de citron confit et de pêche sont flagrantes. Ça sent aussi beaucoup la marmelade.
En bouche, c'est bien évidemment très fruité, alors que des notes intenses d'ananas et de citron confits prennent le dessus. La pêche vient aussi agrémenter l'ensemble qui porte somme toute, un corps soyeux et presque crémeux.
Dans mes meilleurs cafés de sa palette jusqu'à maintenant, le Tropical porte très bien son nom. C'est étonnant à quel point les saveurs du grain se présentent aussi clairement et nous donne des arômes méga fruitées. Vraiment une excellence d'Escape!
