This Brazilian coffee from Fazenda São Domingos, roasted by A Matter of Concrete, is an espresso classic in the best sense of the word. In the cup, you’ll find a perfectly balanced profile with dominant chocolate sweetness and rich nutty notes that gradually layer together to create a smooth, harmonious whole. It’s a coffee that doesn’t surprise with eccentricity, but instead relies on reliability, clarity, and a pleasant fullness.
The coffee comes from the Mococa region in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, specifically from the historic Fazenda São Domingos farm, managed by Marco A. Guardabaxo. This farm underwent a sensitive renovation that successfully preserved the traditional character of the place while bringing it up to the standards of modern specialty coffee production. Thanks to an elevation of 810–950 meters above sea level and carefully managed cultivation, the beans grown here have a balanced and consistent profile.
The Acaiá variety, typical of Brazil, shows its strength here—it is full-bodied, sweet, and beautifully distinct. Every cup thus reflects a blend of tradition, experience, and attention to detail. The pulped natural processing method lies precisely between the washed and dry methods, giving this coffee its characteristic balance. After the skin is removed, some of the pulp remains on the bean, which is then dried, contributing to greater sweetness and a fuller body, while the coffee retains its clean profile. At the São Domingos farm, the entire process is supported by modern technology—from precise sorting to sensor-controlled drying, which ensures consistent quality. The result is a cup that is stable, clear, and perfectly balanced.
