GETTING TO KNOW our Forest Blend

 
The original Perky Blend, and our most traditional tasting.

Ideal for those who like a darker, full bodied and chocolaty cup of coffee with low acidity.

Crowd pleasing, uncomplicated and laid-back, this blend works wonders brewed in a stovetop Moka Pot or as an Espresso... but is versatile enough to work as a banging filter too.

Forest Blend currently features coffee from Fazenda, Santa Rita. Fazenda is located in the beautiful Serra da Mantiqueira, known as the Mantiqueira Mountains, in the border area of Sao Paulo. This region in well-known for producing quality coffee.

The name Mantiqueira derives from a Tupi word meaning “mountains that cry”, denoting the vast number of springs and streams that envelop the mountain. The range acts as an essential source of drinking water for a number of important cities in south-east Brazil.

 

Of its 215 acres, 80 hectares are dedicated to cultivating the Catuai varietal found in this brew. The high altitudes and tropical mountain climate favour the slow maturation of the coffee, resulting in its stunning unique profile. 

This Catuai varietal is processed using the Natural Method. After harvest the cherries are selectively picked for their ripeness and taken to dry on patios where they undergo frequent turning.

They are covered at night to prevent any spoilage, and in several weeks will be fully dried and ready for the next stage.
Once dry, the coffee is sent to a dry mill to be hulled, which is the final process before it arrives with us in our roastery. 

 

The rich and fertile environment of the mountain provides a quality of coffee that is second to none. Buzzing with tasting notes of hazelnut, brown sugar and dark chocolate, our Forest Blend is the ultimate classic for any coffee lover.
