This espresso from Punkt. coffee is exactly the kind of coffee you’ll reach for when you’re in the mood for a classic, authentically crafted specialty coffee.

The coffee comes from Brazil, specifically from the Sul de Minas region in Minas Gerais. This is one of Brazil’s most famous coffee-growing regions, where coffee trees thrive in a gently rolling landscape at elevations of around 900 to 1,200 meters above sea level. It is precisely this combination of conditions that helps create coffees with a delicate sweetness, a clean flavor, and a typical chocolate-nut profile. The lot consists of the Mundo Novo variety, which is very widespread in Brazil and fits well with the style of a sweet, balanced espresso with a fuller body.
After harvest, the coffee undergoes natural processing. Ripe cherries are first carefully sorted and then dried either on concrete terraces or on raised African beds. Thanks to this, the coffee retains its pleasant sweetness, fullness, and only a very subtle fruity undertone, without losing its clean and smooth character. The result is a single-origin specialty coffee that offers a more traditional take on espresso, yet still emphasizes quality, origin, and natural sweetness.
