Brazil JOÃO HAMILTON from the Czech roastery Doubleshot is a specialty coffee from the Farm line, through which Doubleshot has long featured coffees from specific producers with whom it builds direct relationships. In the cup, you’ll find a typically Brazilian profile characterized by sweetness, a full body, and a velvety texture. The aroma is reminiscent of milk chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit. The flavor unfolds with creamy notes of chocolate cream, sweet caramel, ripe stone fruits, and a subtle nutty aftertaste reminiscent of hazelnuts. The coffee feels round, harmonious, and very pleasant, while retaining enough complexity to delight even experienced specialty coffee lovers.
The coffee comes from the Novo Canaã farm in the Caconde region of São Paulo state, Brazil. The farm is run by João Hamilton together with his family, and his name has been associated with Doubleshot’s selection since 2010. Novo Canaã is known for its rigorous approach to regenerative agriculture, which focuses on soil health, promoting biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. Thanks to this approach, the farm produces coffees with exceptional clarity, stability, and natural sweetness. Their work demonstrates that a gentle approach to the landscape and an emphasis on quality can go hand in hand.
The Catuaí variety was processed using the anaerobic dry method, which imparts greater sweetness and depth to the coffee. After harvest, the whole coffee cherries underwent a 48-hour fermentation in sealed plastic bags, where the beans’ specific flavor characteristics developed in the absence of oxygen. The cherries were then dried on African drying beds, which allow for even airflow and precise control of the entire process. The result is a coffee with a richer body, more pronounced sweetness, and a creamy texture that highlights chocolate, caramel, and fruity notes.
