In the heart of Brazil, where altitudes range from 800 to 1100 meters above sea level, a coffee with a distinctive bite emerges – the Brazil Cascavel Vermelha, aptly named after the rattlesnake, known as "Cascavel" in Portuguese.

In the sprawling coffee regions of Brazil, where the landscape is shaped by vast farms, Cascavel Vermelha thrives as a pulpy delight. Its profile, rich in red fruit and refined sweetness, is a testament to the variety embraced by the beans sourced through a vertically integrated supply chain.

Much like its namesake, the rattlesnake, the Cascavel Vermelha has a role beyond its fearsome reputation. In the intricate dance of the coffee ecosystem, these creatures, with their striking markings, serve as guardians. By keeping rodents and small animals at bay, they protect the coffee fields from potential havoc.

Sourced through this meticulous supply chain, the 84 SCA cup Cascavel stands as a symbol of sustainability and consistency. The vertically integrated approach ensures that every sip tells a story of responsible sourcing, creating a blend accessible in price yet rich in quality.

The journey of Cascavel Vermelha extends to the harvest. In Brazil's vast coffee farms, where mechanization meets tradition, farms maximize productivity. With newer technologies, selective harvesting has become an art, with a focus on fully ripe cherries. The use of a derricadeira, a mechanized rake, ensures gentle harvesting, allowing for the delivery of top-notch cup quality.

Once picked, the coffee cherries embark on a journey of processing. The choice between natural and pulped natural methods adds layers to the flavor profile. Whether dried on large patios under the sun or pulped and laid out, the meticulous process guarantees an even drying process and a clean cup profile.

As you savor the Brazil Cascavel Vermelha, let each sip be a symphony. A harmony of variety, a sustainable tale, and the echoes of the rattlesnake's guardianship, all in a cup of coffee that transcends its beans and becomes a narrative of Brazil's coffee landscape.
