Brazil Cerrado Bela Vista Estate

Bela Vista

Natural Process Mundo Novo Variety

Mundo Novo-IAC376-4

[Wet Aroma] Cream, chocolate, hazelnut-like nuts

[Dry Aroma] Rose fragrance, nectar aroma, cream biscuits, citrus

[Slurping] A refreshing sweetness upon entry, momentarily feeling like a depulped natural Brazil coffee bean—clean, with a nutty chocolate sweetness. A subtle creaminess and a fleeting malt-grain aroma. In the finish, besides the light sweetness, there's a rose fragrance, gentle and quiet—the best Brazil coffee Rose has tasted so far.

When the green beans arrived, I immediately loved the bag design—very proper labeling, showing the style of a major brand. The green beans were extremely clean. After roasting and the first sip, my initial reaction was: truly processed by a major factory! Very clean. After some inquiry, it was confirmed that this is an estate under the Minas Gerais Coffee Growers Association in Brazil Cerrado.

Rose personally doesn't particularly like Brazil's malt-grain aroma—the malt biscuit flavor isn't a defect, purely a personal preference. However, this coffee has very little of it, with fruit sweetness and nutty chocolate as the main tones, making it a very high-grade Brazil. A few days ago, I saw someone commenting on American coffees, specifically mentioning that Brazil was excluded from among the balanced and high-quality flavors. But this one, I feel, is absolutely the best representative to vindicate Brazil!! A bit of a tangent there.

FrontStreet Coffee Brewing Parameter Recommendations:

How to Brew Brazil Coffee [Bela Vista Natural Mundo Novo] Well?

FrontStreet Coffee Pour-over Reference: Weigh 15g of [Bela Vista Natural Mundo Novo] coffee powder, pour into a grinder for medium grinding. The ground particles should be slightly coarser than table salt—we use BG grinder setting 6A (standard sieve pass rate 50%). Water temperature 88°C, using Kono/Kalita dripper for extraction. Recommended powder-to-water ratio is approximately 1:14.

Pour hot water from the pour-over kettle in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Start timing when you begin brewing. Within 15 seconds, brew the coffee to 30g, then stop pouring water. When the time reaches 1 minute, pour the second time. During the second pour, just like before, pour in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Avoid pouring water onto where the coffee powder meets the filter paper to prevent channeling effects.

When pouring coffee powder to the outermost circle, leave one circle of space, then continue pouring circle by circle toward the center. At 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the coffee should be brewed to 210g—brewing complete.

Japanese-style Iced Pour-over [Bela Vista Natural Mundo Novo]

FrontStreet Coffee Iced Pour-over [Bela Vista Natural Mundo Novo] Reference:

Brazil Coffee [Bela Vista Natural Mundo Novo], medium-dark roast, BG grinder setting 5R (standard sieve pass rate 60%)

20g powder, 150g ice cubes, 150g hot water. Water temperature should be 1°C higher than the normal pour-over recommendation of 88°C. Normal grinding uses small Fuji 3.5 setting, while iced pour-over uses slightly finer—small Fuji 3 setting. Recommended powder-to-(water+ice) ratio is 1:15.

Bloom water amount 40g, bloom time 30 seconds.

Segmented pouring: first segment 60g water, second segment 40g water. Use a relatively fine but high water column for pouring, with vigorous stirring impact to make the coffee powder roll fully. However, be careful not to let the liquid level get too high and avoid pouring onto the edge filter paper.

The entire extraction time is approximately 2.5 minutes (close to the normal extraction time for 20g powder).
