Brazil Ipanema Dulce, Rain Forest Alliance
this brazil comes from fazenda ipanema, where the rfa, rainforest alliance, certification mandates sustainable ecological and economic improvements. the nature and layout of the fazenda farm means the ripest of coffee cherry can be picked and sundried on the patios. the fruit dries and acts to enhance the flavor in the bean. once dried, it is hulled and placed into wooden silos for the "reposo" or resting period. 45 days later, lot samples are taken and bags are filled for export. arriving on the west coast, the coffee will be in a state of shock. after climatization, the coffee is released to cafe moto roasters. moto likes ipanema dulce for its "dulce", sweet, fruity character similar to a bing cherry with the mildest of acidity. brazil works well where smoothness is the key. we offer it straight and also use it in our giro d' italia espresso, "smooth through the curves". * the rainforest alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land- use practices, business practices and consumer behavior.
