INTRO
You're Nuts is a playful twist on a classic Brazilian espresso profile, built around an Arara lot from Agropecuária Muñiz in the Cabo Verde region of Minas Gerais. Round and sweet with a subtle winey character, it delivers rich notes of dark berry cordial, smooth caramel, and a crunchy cacao nib finish — a Brazilian espresso that punches above its weight.
THE PRODUCER
Adriano Muñiz runs Agropecuária Muñiz in the Cabo Verde region of Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's most established specialty-producing states. The farm sits at around 1,150 MASL — modest by Ethiopian or Colombian standards, but well-suited to the Arara variety, which thrives at lower altitudes and produces a naturally full, sweet cup character.
Muñiz has built a reputation for clean, expressive lots that showcase Brazilian terroir without leaning on over-fermented or artificial notes. The Arara cultivar — a cross between Bourbon and Timor — has become increasingly popular with roasters looking for something distinctive beyond the traditional Bourbon or Catuai profiles.
THE PROCESS
The Anaerobic Natural process at Agropecuária Muñiz involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvest — Ripe Arara cherries picked at peak maturity
- 🧪 Anaerobic Fermentation — Whole cherries sealed in oxygen-free tanks, allowing controlled fermentation to develop complex flavour compounds
- ☀️ Raised Bed Drying — Cherries dried intact on raised beds, preserving the fruit's natural sugars and developing the characteristic winey sweetness
- ✅ Quality Sorting — Density and screen sorting to ensure consistency
The anaerobic environment amplifies the Arara's natural berry and caramel notes while maintaining a clean, rounded mouthfeel — resulting in an espresso that is indulgent without being cloying.
THE CUP
You're Nuts delivers a rich, dessert-like espresso profile that rewards the adventurous palate. The dark berry cordial note leads, underpinned by buttery caramel sweetness and finishing with the pleasant crunch of cacao nibs. The winey character is present but refined, making this a coffee that works beautifully as a straight espresso or milk-based drink.
