The Origin Story: Brazil's Minas Gerais Region

The unwavering dependability of The Basecamp is rooted in its origin: the vast, rolling plains of the Minas Gerais region in Brazil. This area is the powerhouse of Brazilian coffee production and is globally renowned for its efficiency and, more importantly, its inherently sweet, low-acid coffee beans. The result is the definitive Smooth Brazilian Medium Roast Coffee—always reliable and always delicious.

Why Brazilian Coffee is Inherently Sweet and Low-Acid

Unlike high-altitude Central American coffees known for their bright acidity, the coffee in this blend is typically grown at lower altitudes. This slower maturation process yields a bean with a naturally high sugar content and a corresponding low acidity. The majority of coffee from Minas Gerais is processed using the Natural or Pulped Natural methods, where the cherry is dried with some or all of the fruit intact. This technique allows the sugars from the fruit to infuse back into the bean, magnifying its natural sweetness and creating the rich notes of milk chocolate and toffee that define The Basecamp.

By sourcing exclusively from this region and utilizing beans processed this way, we ensure The Basecamp is always the reliable, comforting medium roast you expect, reinforcing our expertise in selecting beans for specific flavor goals.

TASTING NOTES: Milk Chocolate, Roasted Almond, and Toffee

This is the reliable anchor for any adventure: a classic, comforting Smooth Brazilian Medium Roast Coffee built on a foundation of exceptional clarity and a satisfyingly smooth mouthfeel. Roasted to bring forward a rich, approachable sweetness, The Basecamp delivers warm notes of roasted almond, milk chocolate, and toffee with every cup.

It's the dependable, low-acid profile that stands up beautifully to milk, but shines brilliantly on its own. The consistent roast profile, meticulously tracked and executed weekly in Michigan, ensures the same Smooth Brazilian Medium Roast Coffee taste every single time. Dependability guaranteed.
