The Paraná Parallel
A comforting embrace, elegance, heavy body, and low acidity.
The route & origin
Where this route begins
We navigate south to the vast, sun-drenched lands of Brazil. This microlot is sourced from the renowned Fazenda Santa Barbara, São Francisco, and Santo Antonio estates, nestled between Paraná and São Paulo. The Catuai and Mundo Novo varieties thrive on rich volcanic loam plateaus at lower elevations (750–1,050 m), translating to remarkably low acidity and a dense, creamy, exceptionally sweet body.
The process · Pulped natural · sun-dried
From cherry to bean
The outer skin of the cherry is removed, but the bean is left to dry under the Brazilian sun with its mucilage — the sticky, honey-like layer of the fruit, completely intact. This unique process drives natural fruit sugars straight to the core of the bean as it dries.
The cup profile
In the cup
Roasted to a perfect medium, this coffee delivers an exceptionally elegant and smooth cup. Leaving sharp acidity behind, expect prominent notes of pure cocoa, hints of toasted nuts, and a creamy texture that coats the palate.

Why we love it this way
Since a French Press doesn't use a paper filter, it lets the natural oils pass straight into your cup, fully maximizing its heavy, chocolatey body. And thanks to its rich cocoa notes, this is the perfect coffee to pair with milk, our top pick for a comforting latte or cappuccino.
Sold as whole beans — grind right before brewing for peak flavor.
