Acaiá

Coffea arabica var. mundo novo (selection)

Sweet, full-bodied, low-acid, nutty.

Acaiá is a Mundo Novo selection made by Brazil's IAC, chosen for large beans and vigour. Tall and productive like its parent, it delivers the classic Brazilian profile of heavy body, low acidity, and sweet, nutty flavour, and is grown across Minas Gerais and São Paulo as a dependable commercial and specialty variety.
