Archetype Espresso

The flavour profile of Archetype is all about big body with a medium to low acidity. As an espresso it’s easy going and reliable and as a filter brew it cuts through milk well to give notes of butterscotch, hazelnut and cocoa.

The flavour profile of Archetype is all about big body, dark chocolate and caramel with a medium to low acidity. As an espresso it’s easy going and reliable, we like to pull shots of it short and strong to maximise that syrupy mouthfeel and bring out notes hazelnut, coco and molasses. In milk it’s super sweet like milk chocolate and butterscotch and although we usually use it in the espresso machine, a filter or french press will also deliver a satisfying and hefty brew.

Turning Cows into Coffee

Granja São Francisco is a family run farm which was originally acquired by Otaviano’s grandfather. He was a renowned coffee exporter and recognised the potential of the Carmo de Minas as a micro region that would be perfect for growing speciality quality coffee.

The region had previously been known for cattle ranching. Consequently the beautiful loamy soil is fertile and the coffee bushes and their interplanted shade trees have created a much richer biodiverse environment than the overgrazed fields that they have supplanted.

The coffee fields continue to expand and I heard the phrase: “We are turning cows into coffee!” exclaimed on more than one occasion. This can be seen as an antidote to the practice of tree-felling for lumber that is going on in the rainforests of Amazonia. With the trees cleared and their delicate forest eco-systems destroyed the cattle farmers then move in and the cycle of slash and burn and over-grazing begins again
