New Coffee from Minas Gerais. This is an exceptional micro lot from a single producer in Brazil. Expect sweetness & lively acidity that we don’t typically expect from the production region. This is a new relationship for Gotham & we’re proud to feature an excellent coffee from a woman owned & run coffee farm.
