Escuro

Brazilian coffee is renowned for its smooth, nutty, and chocolatey flavours, often complemented by low acidity. Due to Brazil's warm climate and vast coffee-growing areas, Brazilian beans develop a full-bodied flavour that appeals to both traditional and modern coffee drinkers.

Escuro offers a rich, sweet, and nutty profile, with tasting notes of chocolate, toffee and walnut. This dark roast is perfect for those who prefer a more traditional, smooth coffee experience, where caramelised sweetness meets a bold, full-bodied flavour.

Escuro is sourced from the Fazenda Pinhal farm in the Sul De Minas Gerais region of Brazil. Owned by the Gabarra Teixeria family since 1994, this 914-hectare farm balances coffee production with environmental sustainability. Only one-third of the farm is planted with coffee, while the rest serves as a natural reserve, eucalyptus forest and pasture land, supporting local wildlife.

Strength in coffee often refers to roast intensity or caffeine content rather than origin. While both Brazilian and Colombian coffees can be roasted to varying intensities, Brazilian coffees are known for their heavier, nutty and chocolatey profile, like our Escuro, which is a dark roast. Colombian coffee generally has a brighter acidity and fruity notes, but neither is inherently stronger.

Brazilian coffee isn’t necessarily bitter but tends to have a smooth, full-bodied profile with less acidity. Escuro’s dark roast brings out deep, caramelised flavours without sharp bitterness, featuring toffee and chocolate notes. This makes it a great choice for those who enjoy a balanced and rich coffee without an overly bitter aftertaste.

Escuro’s full-bodied, nutty profile shines in brewing methods that emphasise its richness, such as espresso or cafetiere. These methods bring out the chocolate and toffee notes, delivering a smooth and bold cup perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a darker, richer roast. Check out our brew guides below!
