Penny Rock is the foundation of our coffee offering, and a celebration of the coveted yellow varietals grown in Brazil’s Mantiqueira de Minas region.

 

We select it from seasonal crop to deliver a comforting, dependable, and crowd-pleasing coffee that works equally well as espresso as it does in milk.

 

As espresso it's round and sweet, with notes of chocolate-orange, praline and honeycomb that combine perfectly with milk to add layers of decadent toffee-fudge.

Mantiqueira de Minas is a region that sits on the Minas Gerais side of the Serra da Mantiqueira, a mountain range that runs along the borders of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro states. In 2020 it received Brazil’s first coffee-specific Denomination of Origin status in recognition of its unique terroir and the high quality of the coffee grown in the region. Unlike the common image of Brazilian coffee farms of vast, sprawling plains, and uniform rows of mechanically picked coffee, here there are beautiful rolling hills, and the coffee is hand-picked.

This particular lot is a natural processed Yellow Catucaí grown by Álvaro Antônio Pereira Coli and his team at the renowned Sitio Da Torre just outside of Carmo de Minas. Sitio Da Torre is a fourth generation, multi-award winning farm, with no less than 29 Cup of Excellence placements in the last 20 years, and we have had the great pleasure of visiting Álvaro and his family there on multiple occasions. Aside from the beauty of the farm and the exceptional quality of the coffee, it is their warm hospitality that sticks in the mind, with each visit having been accompanied by a generous, convivial and utterly delicious home-cooked lunch with the family, followed by a tasting of their home-brewed cachaça.

The Catucaí cultivar is a cross between Catuaí and Icatu first identified by researchers at the Brazilian Coffee Institute in 1988 and selected for its disease resistance and cup potential. At Sitio Da Torre it has found a home where it is able to express its qualities at their finest, and in conjunction with Álvaro and his team’s meticulous processing, produce a truly delicious cup of coffee.
