Product Description
From the renowned Sul de Minas region of Brazil, where cooler mountain climates slow down coffee maturation and develop denser beans, Mantissa’s Red Catuai delivers a cup that is both vibrant and comforting. This naturally processed coffee shines with fruit-forward juiciness layered with subtle chocolate and honey sweetness, complemented by a warm, gentle spice and almond-like nuttiness.

What makes this coffee special is the harmony of quality and sustainability. Café Mantissa—pioneers in advanced coffee processing since 1997—cultivate their Red Catuai beneath fruit and native shade trees using responsible farming practices. Their commitment to sustainable innovation has earned them multiple awards, including top placements in the Ernest Illy Sustainable Quality Coffee Award.

By choosing this Red Catuai, you enjoy not only a balanced, medium-bodied cup suitable for drip, espresso, French press, or pour-over, but also the rich heritage of Brazilian coffee farming—where generations of families have refined their craft and nurtured the land for decades.
