Limeira – Brazil

Almond • Brown Sugar • Caramel

A natural Brazil with classic appeal. From Alta Mogiana – where traditional and innovative agriculture collide – this region is defined by its high altitude compared to its surroundings, and distinctive terroir.

Full body and velvety qualities, but the underlying acidity should not be dismissed. Limeira is a cup you’ll keep returning to.
