This is how we would prepare the Henrique
Why does Henrique taste the way it does?
Coffees from Espirito Santo, the east of Brazil, grow very tall by local standards. Coffee brings with it a lot of complexity due to its slowed growth. The bean is hard and so it can withstand a slightly more developed roast. For our standards, we roasted the coffee rather darkly to get a more classic espresso. Thanks to the washed process and slow drying, the coffee retains its fine acids and balances this heavy coffee.
Tell me more about Henrique
Henrique Sloper has run Fazenda Camocim since 1999 and operates it according to organic and biodynamic principles. The focus is on soil health. The better the soil, the more resilient the coffee plant. We support agricultural approaches that work regeneratively and understand coffee production holistically. This also includes our own production of fertilizer, which makes producers less dependent on market fluctuations. Small producers in particular need a broad toolbox in order to be able to respond to the constant challenges in coffee cultivation. Whether organic, biodynamic, regenerative, or a mixture of different approaches - we support everything that strengthens coffee producers and gives them the power to act.
