For nearly a century, Brazil has been one of the worlds leading coffee producers. In recent years they have dropped from producing 70% of world supply to only 30%, but the emphasis on quality has lead Brazil to producing a much higher quality coffee. In addition, Brazil is now the worlds second leading consumer of coffee. Second only to the United States.
  
Doce Boda is in part a celebration of our trip to the farm that followed Jeff and Maritza's wedding in August of 2010. In Portuguese the name means: Sweet Celebration. So this coffee is our gift to all of you that we created while on our honeymoon in Brazil.
Doce Boda is very easy to work with for a barista. It can be pulled as a straight shot of espresso or used for a drip coffee of the day.
As an espresso you'll find it has rich, velvety milk chocolate tones, with sweet hints of orange. A juicy, syrupy mouth-feel that finishes clean. As a starting point for extraction we use a 20 gram dose with a 27 second extraction time. Of course the type of espresso machine, water and temperature will all play a roll in the pull. Use this as a starting point and play with the coffee from there to get your desired extraction.
As a drip coffee, Doce Boda has a gentle flavor profile and low acidity. Hints of dark chocolate and delicate sweetness come through in the cup. A big lush body with a gentle spice finish.
