STL048/25 comes from Fazenda São Silvestre, in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais, grown between 1,100 and 1,250 masl on the Yellow Icatu variety, a cultivar known for holding sweetness and body well through more intensive processing. This lot went through carbonic maceration, a method where cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-controlled environment before drying, which tends to concentrate fruit character and give the final cup a distinctive, layered sweetness. That shows clearly in the cup: red fruits and honey up front, moving into something closer to dessert, rum pralines and chocolate, without ever feeling heavy-handed. The acidity is velvety rather than sharp, and the body is medium and creamy, giving the whole profile a rounded, indulgent feel from first sip to finish. Scoring 88 points on the SCA scale, STL048/25 is a strong choice for roasters looking for a Brazil lot with real presence, distinctive enough to feature as a single origin, and rich enough to hold its own in a dessert-leaning espresso blend.
