What medium acidity means
BRAZIL Matas is a medium-acidity coffee from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Acidity here is a gentle brightness, not sourness. The lemon note is part of that brightness.
- A paper filter, like drip or Chemex, keeps that brightness clear.
- A French press rounds it off if you want less snap.
- Pour-overWater poured by hand through paper. This coffee opens slowly, and the brighter notes stay easy to pick out.
