Don’t have time for a South American vacation? With its bold, rich flavours, an indulgent cup of Cafezinho do Brasil Grand Cru first thing every morning will transport you right to vibrant Brazil. To ensure that the latest Nespresso Grand Cru creation pays respectful homage to its muse, only Arabica beans from southern Brazil – known to express the preferred local coffee profile of bitterness, roasted notes and a distinctive aroma – are used. A specific harvesting technique, whereby ripe beans are gathered without coming into contact with earth, is employed to retain this specific taste profile. Pulped natural, sweet Bourbon beans are later added for sweetness and aromatic richness, while the hermetically sealed aluminium capsules provide the optimum environment for preserving the ground coffee’s freshness. The resulting Cafezinho do Brasil Grand Cru, named after the traditional cafezinho, or “small coffee”, is a velvety brew with a walnut-and-sandalwood aroma, and unusual herbal notes reminiscent of thyme or rosemary – an iteration worthy of the original.
