Brazil Ana Maria Menenez Dry Process
My Friend's Coffee
Honey Roasted Almond, Bittersweet Chocolate, Milky Body
This lovely comfort-toned cup comes from Ana Maria Menenez, owner and operator of Lenheiros, a family-owned operation in Cerrado Mineiro. It's a traditional dry process of a pure Catuai lot. Chocolate, nut, a smooth, drinkable feel—it's got everything you want from a Brazilian brew.
The cup opens with a sweet, honey roasted almond note. It's the kind of vibe that Brazilian cups are known for—comforting, rich, traditional in the best possible way. Bittering chocolate comes next, and it strikes a nice sweet tone that's rich without being cloying. The chocolate settles the cup further into the comfort space, and that easy-drinking aspect gets a lift thanks to its final quality: a smooth milky finish. It's the type of mouthfeel that enhances drinkability, and makes art of tradition.
Overall, this is an easy-drinking, easy-to-love cup. Brew it however you want. It's sure to land smooth and sweet and oh-so-comforting.
