The \u003cstrong\u003eBrazil Donas de Café\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003emedium dark roast, naturally processed\u003c\/strong\u003e single origin that feels like a proper hug in a mug. Rich roasted nuts open the cup, followed by smooth dark chocolate and a gentle thread of honey sweetness that lingers long after the last sip. This is a coffee that doesn't demand anything from you — it just gives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is full and round, with a velvety, almost creamy texture that coats the palate beautifully. There's no sharpness here, no jarring edges — just a smooth, deeply satisfying weight that makes every brew feel indulgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking it black?\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, this coffee is at its most honest and expressive. The roasted nut notes come forward confidently, grounded by deep dark chocolate and that soft honey sweetness keeping everything balanced. It's excellent as a \u003cstrong\u003epour over, V60, AeroPress, or cafetière\u003c\/strong\u003e — and absolutely sings as a \u003cstrong\u003estovetop (moka pot)\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the natural richness of the bean really shines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking it with milk?\u003c\/strong\u003e Add milk and this coffee transforms into something genuinely special. The honey sweetness blooms, the chocolate deepens into something almost mocha-like, and the roasted nut notes give your flat white or latte a naturally nutty, toasty depth. It pulls beautifully as an \u003cstrong\u003eespresso\u003c\/strong\u003e too — full-bodied, smooth, with natural sweetness that means you might not even need sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is a wonderfully versatile, crowd-pleasing single origin — the kind of coffee that works for everyone, from the specialty enthusiast to someone just discovering what freshly roasted coffee can taste like.

Grown at altitudes of 1,050–1,200 metres, the farms cultivate Yellow Bourbon and Mundo Novo varietals, processed using the natural (dry) method. The coffee is graded Specialty with a clean, consistent cup profile that reflects the region's long dry seasons and mineral-rich soils.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAbout the Process\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHarvesting in the Cerrado Mineiro is done by \u003cstrong\u003emechanical strip harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, well-suited to the region's flat topography and large, open farms. At this time of year — typically May through August — the cherries ripen quickly and evenly under the intense Brazilian sun, and the farmers time the harvest carefully to pick at peak ripeness for the best possible sugar development inside the cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOnce harvested, the cherries go through \u003cstrong\u003eflotation tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, where water separates the dense, ripe cherries from any floaters — underdeveloped or damaged fruit that would compromise the cup. Only the sinkers move forward. This simple but important step is one of the unsung heroes of Brazilian specialty processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003enatural process\u003c\/strong\u003e, the whole cherries — skin, pulp, and all — are spread directly onto \u003cstrong\u003eraised drying beds or patio floors\u003c\/strong\u003e and left to dry slowly in the sun. This is where the magic happens. As the cherry dries around the seed, the sugars and fruit flavours from the pulp slowly migrate into the bean itself, creating that characteristic natural sweetness, body, and complexity. The drying phase takes \u003cstrong\u003e3 to 5 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the cherries are turned regularly throughout the day to ensure even drying and prevent fermentation or mould.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOnce the cherries reach the ideal moisture content, they go to the dry mill for \u003cstrong\u003ehulling\u003c\/strong\u003e — mechanically removing the dried outer layers to reveal the green bean inside — before final sorting, grading, and export. By the time Nick roasts these beans in our Canterbury roastery, the hands of dozens of women farmers, pickers, and processors have already shaped everything you taste in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MRCoffeeUK","offers":[{"title":"200g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":41817452937348,"sku":null,"price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":41817452970116,"sku":null,"price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":41817453002884,"sku":null,"price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":41817453035652,"sku":null,"price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":41817453068420,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":41817453101188,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":41817453133956,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":41817453166724,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":41817453199492,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":41817453232260,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":41817453265028,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":41817453297796,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/8447\/5012\/files\/donas.png?v=1781612923","url":"https:\/\/www.microroastery.co.uk\/products\/brazil-donas-de-cafe","provider":"MRCoffeeUK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
