Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
Brazil Cerrado combines a natural process with a cup profile built around caramel, milk chocolate and hazelnut. Drying the whole cherry before the seed is separated is one part of the coffee’s production context; the important buying signal is how that process appears alongside this lot’s tasting profile. Here, 1718 describes a full, creamy body and low-to-medium acidity, while the bright lemon finish keeps the cup from feeling flat or overly heavy.
Recommended Brewing
-
Espresso: The caramel, chocolate and hazelnut profile stays clear in a concentrated shot.
-
Milk-based drinks: Its fuller body and rounded sweetness can remain noticeable through milk.
-
French press: Immersion brewing suits the coffee’s body and nutty, chocolate-led profile.
-
Cold brew: The sweetness and lower perceived acidity make it an approachable chilled option.
1718 Brewing Tip: If you switch between espresso and filter or immersion methods, order whole beans so you can adjust the grind for each brewer.
Traceability & Sourcing
1718 currently identifies this coffee to Brazil’s Cerrado region and publishes its altitude, process, varieties, drying method and harvest window. The current public data does not name a farm or producer, so the page should present this as region-level traceability and avoid implying farm-level sourcing until a producer record is supplied.

1718 describes the acidity as low to medium, with a brighter lemon-like finish rather than an aggressively sharp cup.
