Thanks to medium roasting, the carefully selected raw coffee bean can express itself to the fullest, releasing every natural aroma and never being overly bitter. Try it even without sugar, it will be amazing!
The coffee is stored inside a sealed bag, self-protected with a one-way valve, which allows the coffee to degas, without letting in oxygen, which would oxidize it. This makes it possible to keep the coffee beans fresh and aromatic even after several months.

Notes for 250g ground package:
In Brazil there are a multitude of crops, both large as far as the eye can see, which use industrial means and produce poor quality coffee, as well as micro-farms of Specialty Coffee.
In short, the coffee territory is vast and varied!
Coffee arrived in Brazil with European colonialism in 1727 in Parà, by the Portuguese sergeant Francisco de Melo Palheta from French Guiana.
The soldier hid the plant in a bouquet of flowers given to him as a farewell greeting by the wife of the governor of Guyana, in love with the Portuguese.
In this way he was able to plant the first coffee plant in Brazil!
The two departments known for producing quality coffee are the Cerrado region, where our Bom Chocolate comes from, and the Minas Gerais region southeast of the former.
Cultivation began around the 1970s, thanks to farmers who sought other regions outside the traditional ones, in which frosts arrived annually that ruined the entire harvest.
Minas Gerais was recognized as a cultivation area in 1970, when coffee became the most imported product of regional agriculture and in 2020 it was declared IP, i.e. it was recognized with the Indication of Origin brand.
The Cerrado region, district of Minas Gerais, received the IP in 2005 and DO, therefore Denomination of Origin, since 2014.
This is characterized, as already mentioned, by the quality of the raw beans and by the unique climatic combinations.
Furthermore, the coffee plants here have intense and unique blooms, with uniform ripening of a concentrated crop, which together with a perfect definition of the climatic seasons with hot and humid summers and mild and dry winters.
A set of perfectly synchronized variables that create unique and ideal conditions for our beloved plant with bright red fruits.
In this pleasant and idyllic landscape, until the 19th century, coffee was used only for internal consumption, after which the US and European demand grew and then the massive export of the beans began.
This aromatic note is given by all the cocoa bean plants that surround the entire area of cultivation.
The same coffee then leaves from the port of Santos, the classic name given to most Brazilian coffees, precisely because they leave from the same port, as well as the main one in the entire state.
Our Brasile Bom Chocolate is good in every extraction: from espresso, to moka to filter coffees for percolation and infusion.

Brazilian coffees, as already mentioned, are the best-selling in the world and the most widespread in Italian blends and there are truly fine coffees and poor quality beans full of defects.
For this reason, saying “Brazilian” coffee is very generic and has little meaning. We need to deepen the knowledge and origin of the coffee in question!
