The main component of our Butter Knife Blend is half of this blend from Brazil. Serra Negra, or "black mountain," is a Brazilian profile that captures the most classic flavour profile from Minas Gerais, the growing region including Carmo de Minas. This coffee is a reasonably priced workhorse, making it a staple blend component. We cup for nuttiness, low acidity, and a heavy body.

Due to the climate, growing varieties, and picking and processing styles, Brazilian Naturals also tend to express different flavours than naturally processed coffees from elsewhere. While they often show prominent fruit characteristics, the taste is closer to a coffee-cherry pulp than the blueberry and strawberry notes we see from the finest Ethiopian Naturals. Brazil Naturals also tend to have lower acidity and heavier body or texture in the cup.

The natural process of the Brazilian beans makes a difference here. The fruit is not removed until after the beans are thoroughly dried. Microorganisms present in the fruit and the environment will create fermentation in the coffee until it is completely dried and takes 15–25 days on average.

Rich, sweet, and creamy with a nutty, roasted flavour. Buzz Lite works well as espresso or brewed coffee, any time of day or night.
