ROASTERS
When it comes to Brazil coffee, Bom Jesus stands out with superior quality. We have tasted a lot of Brazil coffees over the years, and this one is not your standard cup. It’s common for Brazil coffees to lack sweetness and uniformity, and score in the low 80s on the SCA scale. Bom Jesus scores 84+ on the cupping table and we taste caramel and honey sweetness, milk chocolate, full mouth coating body, balanced flavor, and medium/low acidity. For Restore we take this to a medium roast level where balance and smooth aftertaste is the name of the game.
COFFEE LOVERS
This is the perfect coffee for someone who wants a cup that is lower in acidity, is chocolaty and sweet, and leaves a really smooth aftertaste. This coffee plays well on any brew method - autodrip, cold brew, espresso, french press, etc. For the coffee lover who is looking for a fruity and acidic cup, this won’t be for them. And for the coffee lover who wants that strong, bold, bitter bite, then Restore won’t be for them. This is for the person who wants a smooth, balanced, sweet cup.
