Capricornio are a family-owned and operated business, based in and around Brazil. The further from the Equator you get (in this case, outside the limits of the Tropic of Capricorn), the winters are colder, and the average temperature is lower. This extends the maturation, yielding a sweeter cup of coffee.
It's not everyday that we get to experience a Brazilian coffee like this one, a coffee that maintains the chocolate and nutty notes particular to the region, while at once boasting notes of melon and red grape. This might be thanks to the honey process, where the coffees are depulped, but allowed to dry without washing. Most of the cherry is gone, but the sticky mucilage that remains lends a naturally sweet, fruit-forward cup of coffee.
