Cerrado Mineiro, Minas Gerais. The Brazilian coffee we've been roasting for years, seen from above.

Kilometres of rows and dirt roads. This is the real scale of the origin.

Four coffees. One lot from Antigua, Guatemala. Four different fermentations. The only variable is the fermentation.

We're part of The Fermentation Project by James Hoffmann. Global simultaneous tasting, 3 October.

No tasting notes. That's the point.

Brazilian coffee is imagined as scale. Machines. Drying patios you can't see the end of. True.

Also true: hands over water, moving beans through the sieve. Dense coffee sinks, what floats gets skimmed off. Same gesture, sieve after sieve, all day.

Scale isn't the opposite of the person. Same field.
