Roaster’s Description

This coffee is part of the Bossa Nova series sourced through Project Origin. Each Bossa Nova release is selected from a single farm while maintaining a profile designed to represent the broader character of the Carmo de Minas region in Brazil.

Participating farms include Santa Lucia, Santa Ines, Irmas Pereira, Fazenda IP, São Benedito, Fazenda Furnas, and Fazenda Sertão, all working primarily with Yellow Bourbon varieties grown at high elevation in Minas Gerais. 

Project Origin approaches regional coffees through careful blending of small microlots to achieve consistency, balance, and a clear regional identity. By combining terroir, variety, and processing with a targeted sensory profile in mind, they create coffees that remain reliable year after year while still expressing the strengths of the growing region.

The result is a classic and versatile Brazilian profile with medium body, creamy structure, and notes of nuts, chocolate, caramel, and soft red fruit. Equally comfortable as espresso, moka, or milk-based drinks, this is an everyday coffee executed with precision.

Brew It Right

All coffees are sold exclusively as whole beans.

Grinding just before brewing preserves aromatics, structure, and clarity in the cup. For that reason, JONNY does not offer pre-ground coffee.

If you don’t yet own a grinder, consider this your sign. A proper grinder will elevate your coffee more than almost any other tool. (You’ll find a curated selection of hand grinders here.)

In the meantime, make friends with your local barista and ask them to grind the beans for your preferred brew method. They’ll understand.

Freshness, With Intention

Every coffee lists its roast date. I am committed to offering beans at their optimal drinking window. Freshly roasted coffee needs time to rest:

• Filter coffee is typically best starting 7 days after roast.

• Espresso benefits from 10–14 days of rest for balance and stability.

Coffee remains vibrant for several months when stored properly, but for peak clarity and sweetness, I recommend enjoying it within 4 months of the roast date. To maintain high standards:

• Coffees that reach 6 weeks from roast are offered at a reduced price.

• Coffees that reach 12 weeks from roast are removed from inventory.

This ensures that what arrives at your door reflects the level of quality I stand behind.
