DR Congo — Sopade Best of Congo 104

Fully washed Brazilian coffees are something of a rarity. Processing washed coffees requires abundant water but the relatively low elevations of Brazil’s coffee-growing regions typically receive less rainfall and have higher air temperatures than similar regions across other producing countries.

These dry conditions lend themselves to naturally-processed coffees that need minimal water during the post-harvest treatment. Hence why most Brazilian lots are natural or pulped natural (semi-washed).

Bucking the prevailing trend, Espírito Santo-based producers Sivanius and Laudivanea Kutz are producing fully washed coffees that spring a surprise in the cup. And while this 256 lot has retained the rich texture you’d expect of a high-quality Brazil, it has a perceptible acidity and fruitiness you wouldn’t.

Kevin A. ★★★★★

Landed as a freebie with my order and honestly it’s the best part of the box. The fully washed process gives it a clean, bright cup that’s surprisingly smooth for a 50g sample. Wish I’d bought a bigger bag.

Joshua Y. ★★★★★

The fully washed process really shines through here—clean, bright cup with none of the muddiness you get from cheaper beans. Got it as a freebie with my order and it's genuinely better than some bags I've paid full price for. That 50g sample was gone in two days, which says everything.

Elizabeth K. ★★★★★

That sample bag was a pleasant surprise as a gift, but the fully washed processing really shows—the cup is clean and bright without any of the muddiness you get from cheaper beans. I brewed it in my pour-over and it held up beautifully for a 50g bag.
