Dark Espresso, Brazil

£10.00

Dark Chocolate, Toffee, Walnut

Sanctuary Coffee's Dark Espresso is our nod to classic coffee. It's rich, full-bodied and brimming with nostalgia.

Dark roasted to emphasise a creamier tactile experience, whilst simultaneously muting acidity to give way for a bold, chocolate-forward profile.

It's family around the breakfast table. It's French Press. It's exactly the type of coffee we grew up to know and love. For us, a darker coffee has a special place in the kitchen cupboard.

Whilst innovation continues to drive coffee forward to new horizons, its roots are back in time and back at home.

Read about our story.

Coffee is a story.

Story

Alta Mogiana is a traditional coffee region covering the northeast of the State of São Paulo and also some cities in the State of Minas Gerais.

The tradition of producing the best coffees comes due to natural conditions as altitude, climate and ideal rainfall and as a result of extensive experience in growing and processing specialty coffees.

Known worldwide for producing Arabica coffees of exceptional quality, with a distinct profile, featuring balanced body and acidity, excellent natural sweetness and a caramelized fragrance, the region is located on a plateau with an altitude between 800 meters and 1200 meters, being Pedregulho one of the highest cities of the region and the state.

Processing

This is a natural processed lot. On the same day as picking, ripe cherries are sealed in plastic drums to ferment anaerobically. They're then de-pulped at the wet mill and dried on raised beds until the required moisture/humidity is achieved. Beans are raked every 30 minutes while drying and hand-sorted to remove defective beans.
