Celebrating the "New Brazil" and Honoring an Old Nemesis

Featured Coffees + 10% OFF Coupon

It's February, and as promised in my previous update, some really amazing Brazilian coffees from the 2022/2023 harvest are starting to arrive here in Texas. These fresh coffees will be rotated into quite a few of our year-round blends, and we will also be featuring some outstanding new microlots over the next few months—some familiar favorites, like February's featured microlot from Sítio dos Cedros, as well as some first-time offerings. In addition to our featured microlot, this month's roaster's choice is Grackle, a new classic and fan favorite honoring one of Austin's most controversial residents.  Sítio dos Cedros grower Dério Brioschi is an excellent representative of the "New Brazil" we discussed in last month's blog post. Little City's Joel Shuler first met Dério while teaching a Q grader class back in 2016, and he has been a close friend and important partner ever since. I recently sat down with Dério to discuss his background in coffee, his experiences working and studying outside Brazil, and his new export company, Farmers Coffee.   Read the full interview Featured Microlot: Sítio dos Cedros One of our favorite offerings year after year, this year's microlot from Sítio dos Cedros does not disappoint. A pulped-natural Catuaí, it's intensely sweet with a syrupy body, bright citric acidity, subtle floral notes, and a long finish.

And like its namesake, our Grackle Blend is on the surface dark, bold, and even a little aggressive. But take the time to know it and its complexities are revealed. Comforting dark chocolate notes from medium-dark roasted Central and South American coffees give way to floral aromas and ripe berry juiceness from East African components, creating a harmony that will please just about any coffee lover.
