**About the Region**

Cerrado Mineiro, a relatively young coffee region in Minas Gerais, began cultivating coffee in the 1960s and has since earned international acclaim for its quality. Despite facing challenges from neighboring regions falsely using its name, in 2013, local producers secured the **Denomination of Origin (DO) "Cerrado Mineiro"** to certify the authenticity and exceptional qualities of their coffee.

The DO guarantees that consumers receive genuine Arabica coffee grown between 800 and 1,300 meters, with a minimum score of 80 points in SCAA tastings. Covering 17,000 hectares and supported by 4,500 producers, nine cooperatives, and several associations, Cerrado Mineiro’s coffees are independently certified to ensure they meet the strict standards that define this renowned coffee-growing region.

Espresso Brewing Recommendations
To extract the perfect shot, we recommend allowing your coffee to rest for at least three weeks post-roast. Espresso is an art that requires precision. Here’s a guideline to get you started:

• Temperature: 93-94°C
• Pre-infusion: Up to 4 seconds
• Dose: 17-17.5 grams (using an 18-gram basket)
• Brew time: 18-26 seconds
• Yield: 32-42 grams of espresso, depending on your preference for body and flavor balance.
