Brésil Alta Minas is a rich, velvety single-origin Brazilian coffee from our Humaniterra Collection, grown at altitude in the celebrated Minas Gerais region. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility, it offers a seductive aroma, a smooth, full body, and subtle notes of fruit and nut. It is an elegant, approachable cup that shines as filter or espresso.
Tasting Notes
Alta Minas is prized for its smooth, velvety body and its inviting aroma. Subtle fruity and nutty notes give it a quiet complexity over a rich, rounded cup that stays balanced and easy to drink. Refined and versatile, it is as satisfying black as it is with milk. The profile described here is for our TAG roast.
Origin
Brésil Alta Minas comes from a single estate in the highlands of South Minas Gerais, where high elevation encourages the refined, complex flavours that make it one of Brazil's finest coffees. The estate protects hundreds of hectares of native forest and recycles its coffee pulp back into the soil as a natural source of nutrients. Its workers receive above-average wages, full benefits, and thorough safety training – the kind of responsible sourcing our Humaniterra Collection is built on.
Roast
TAG (Torrefazione Artigianale Granito) is our suggested roast for single-origins. The TAG method drives the complete caramelization of the bean's natural sugars, drawing out the full depth of the coffee. The result is a rich, complex cup built on more than four decades of green-bean selection, roasting, and cupping expertise.

For espresso, use about 1 tbsp (8 g) of coffee per 1 oz (30 ml) of fresh water. For filter or drip coffee, use 1 tbsp (8 g) per 8.5 oz (250 ml) of fresh water.
