CaramelPeachMolassesCitric Acidity

Best18. is a Yellow Catuaí Blend sourced from Brazil, naturally processed and screen-selected at 17/18. Scoring 84–85 SCA on the 2026/2027 crop, it is certified by SMC Specialty Coffees and evaluated by licensed Q Grader Christian Sarrassini Pontes.

The cup leads with caramel and peach, supported by a balanced and creamy body with molasses sweetness and a bright citric acidity. The mouthfeel is smooth with a clean, pleasant aftertaste that lingers.

Best18. is the larger-screen specialty option for roasters who want added density and a slightly sweeter profile across filter, pour-over, and light espresso formats.
