About This Coffee
From a young age, Gisele Almeida helped maintain her family’s farm in Mata de Minas, in the hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil. After marrying in 2004, Gisele and her brother-in-law planted thousands of coffee trees — work that eventually let her buy a piece of land of her own and plant the trees that support her family today.
Gisele continues to take courses to sharpen the handling and quality of her coffee, building a better life for her children while delivering a cleaner cup that respects the land around her. This lot is her Yellow Catuai, processed pulped natural to draw out its ripe, juicy sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Brazil Gisele better as espresso or filter?
It is roasted light for filter, so pour-over and immersion methods show off its pineapple and custard apple sweetness best. It still pulls a clean, juicy espresso at a 1:2.3 ratio if you prefer a brighter shot.
What does it taste like?
Ripe tropical fruit — pineapple and custard apple — with a yellow-jelly sweetness, gentle acidity and a syrupy, round body that finishes clean and sweet.
How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. This coffee is at its best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so there is no rush to rest it.
What is pulped natural processing?
The cherry skin is removed but the sweet fruit pulp stays on the bean as it dries. That extra fruit contact builds the juicy body and ripe sweetness you taste in this Yellow Catuai.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
