As the name suggests, Trader Joe's new Tropical Bahia Brazil Small Lot Coffee features coffee beans harvested from the high-growing regions of Bahia, Brazil. These beans are then shipped in a hot, closed truck to sunnier regions of the country for drying and roasting. This long journey kickstarts the fermentation process, which gives the beans a unique character and flavor profile. The result is a medium roast with notes of sweet fruits and just a touch of acidity. As Trader Joe's notes, the new coffee pairs perfectly with fruit pastries and also makes a great option for milky iced coffees.
