BRAZIL — MACHADO RECANTO DO ENGENHO (DRY PROCESS)
Origin:
Machado farm, Sul de Minas, Brazil
Producer: Machado family
Varietal: Yellow Bourbon / Mundo Novo
Process: Natural (dry-processed)
Altitude: ~1,050–1,200 meters
Harvest: Hand-picked, main crop
Tasting Profile
A refined Brazilian single-origin that balances classic nutty sweetness with bright, chocolateed clarity. Expect notes of hazelnut, milk chocolate, graham cracker, and a light caramel sweetness, underscored by subtle dried fruit and orange rind acidity. The cup presents a round, syrupy body with a clean, lingering finish that’s both comforting and nuanced. Works beautifully as a single-origin espresso, a decadent milk-based drink, or a refined filter brew when you want a smooth, chocolate-forward cup with bright, balanced sweetness.
Cup Characteristics
Aroma: Toasted nuts, cocoa, light brown sugar
Flavor: Hazelnut, milk chocolate, caramel, graham
Acidity: Low to medium; gentle citrus lift
Body: Medium to full, syrupy mouthfeel
Finish: Clean, sweet, slightly citrus-tinged
About the Farm
Machado Recanto do Engenho is a family-run estate in Sul de Minas, a region celebrated for producing consistent, quality Brazilian lots. The Machado family focuses on careful cherry selection and meticulous drying practices to highlight varietal sweetness and clarity. Natural processing concentrates sugars and fruit character while the farm’s elevation and cooler drying conditions preserve nuanced acidity and aromatic depth.
Roasting & Brewing Notes
Roast recommendations: Medium to medium-dark to showcase chocolate and caramel while preserving sweet fruit highlights.
Espresso: Smooth, syrupy; chocolate and hazelnut forward with a sweet finish.
Filter: Clean clarity with enhanced citrus lift and delicate fruit notes.
Homebrew tips: Use a slightly lower temperature (195–200°F) and adjust grind to emphasize balance between sweetness and acidity. For espresso, aim for a 1:2 brew ratio for syrupy body.
Sustainability & Sourcing
Produced on a small family farm with attention to cherry selection and drying technique. Ethically handled and traceable to the Machado estate, this lot reflects thoughtful stewardship common to Sul de Minas producers.
