NOTES ON GREEN COFFEE

This coffee has an average 18-19 sieve and the defect rating ranges from very low to zero.

If toasted as an espresso (agtron 50-55, Italian) it forms a cream of a marked hazelnut, with slight nuances. On the nose, sensations of toasted bread and light caramel are perceived, in line with many Brazilian coffees. To the taste, the coffee has a light but pleasant body, good acidity and a decidedly soft bitterness.

If toasted by filter and brewing (agtron 65-70, full city) the acid becomes slightly more intense, the sweetness more rounded and the sensations on the nose slightly more fruity.
