MOZZAFIATO ESPRESSO - MARCELO ASSIS, BIOMA CAFE - Brazil - Natural Process
Mozzafiato in Italian means breathtaking, and this is how we feel about this special coffee from a single farm in Brazil. We selected this coffee for its amazing qualities to produce a classic Italian espresso roast. This means it is roasted toward the darker end of medium. It is sweet, caramelly, full bodied, with low acidity. This coffee also makes amazing drip coffee, cold brew, or iced coffee.
“Marcelo Nogueira Assis and Flavio Marcio Silva own the estate farm. Flavio came from managing the family businesses, and Marcelo was a recent graduate in the technical school of agriculture. By 2010 the two were ready to found their first coffee farm – dedicated 100% to specialty production – in Campos Altos region, Minas Gerais. The time between was spent evaluating each piece of land that they would later buy – a scientific search for the perfect terroir. A 1200m high plateau in Cerrado Mineiro was eventually selected, 229 hectares divided into six zones. Olhos D’agua is the central plot, where the processing happens.” Crop to Cup importers
