Description
Brazil Eagle Mogiana is a natural-process arabica from Alta Mogiana, the rolling coffee country that runs along the border of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. It is the kind of Brazilian we reach for when we want a cup that is sweet, rounded and dependable — chocolate and nuts rather than sharp acidity, with a soft fruit note running through the finish.
Where it comes from
Mogiana is one of the most established coffee regions in Brazil: around 3,500 farmers working a combined 202,000 hectares of high, undulating ground. We select lots from individual estates rather than bulking everything together, so the profile stays clean and consistent from lot to lot and year to year.
The coffee is grown between 800m and 1,200m from Catuai and Mundo Novo trees — two of the classic Brazilian varieties — and graded 17/18 screen, which means the beans are large, dense and even in size. That consistency is exactly what makes it such a good all-rounder: sweet as filter, syrupy as espresso, and forgiving in a cafetière.
How it is processed
Natural, or dry process: the whole cherry is picked and dried intact in the sun rather than having the fruit stripped off first. Sugar from the fruit migrates into the bean as it dries, which is where the body, the brown-sugar sweetness and the dried-fruit character come from. It also makes the coffee unusually stable in the grinder and in milk.
In the cup
Chocolate, apple, hazelnut and dried fruits. Expect a soft, rounded acidity, plenty of sweetness and a long nutty finish. As espresso it pours a heavy, chocolatey shot that holds up beautifully under steamed milk; as filter it is mellow and easy-drinking, with the apple note lifting the finish.
