Pretty Nuts
NewBack in StockRound
Pretty Nuts, Summer 2026 version. Natalia and Augusto brought us this lot from Sitio Beija Flor, a farm in Campanha, Mantiqueira de Minas. It’s boozy and creamy, with peanut butter up front, Grand Marnier behind it, and forest fruits underneath. This year’s harvest runs more intense than the last one.

FROM ORIGIN TO CUP
Sitio Beija Flor sits at 1150 masl in Campanha, and the low altitude works in the coffee's profile favour: less acidity, more body. Natalia and Augusto ferment the cherries longer than a standard natural before drying with the fruit intact, and the longer contact between seed and cherry builds the Grand Marnier notes note and the thick, creamy body. We roast it for espresso, where the body and the sweetness do their best work. Every year it shifts a little, and this one runs slightly heavier.
Origin
Sitio Beija Flor sits in Campanha, in the Mantiqueira de Minas, at 1150 masl. The low altitude means less acidity and more body, which is the whole character of this particular coffee.
Varietal
Arara, a Brazilian variety known for its sweetness and a soft, rounded cup. With an extended fermentation, that base turns more nutty and rich, closer to peanut butter than to the caramel most Brazilian coffees land on.
Processing
Extended fermentation natural. The cherries ferment longer than a standard natural before drying with the fruit intact. The longer contact builds the Grand Marnier note and the thick creamy body, and the drying is managed around it.
Intervention level
Medium. The fermentation window is deliberately stretched to build the more intense, nutty profile, with the drying managed around it.
