What is so special about this coffee?

The natural processing method enhances the flavour of the coffee, as it allows the beans to develop juicy, fruit-forward notes with hints of chocolate, honey-like sweetness, and a warm spice sensation. 

What makes this coffee special is its balance of quality and sustainability. Grown at the Mantissa estate using responsible farming practices, this Red Catuai thrives in harmony with nature. The result? A well-rounded cup with a medium body and a pleasant fruit-like finish. Whether brewed as an espresso or pour-over, it’s a great choice for those who value both great coffee and sustainable farming.

Coffee by tradition

The high quality of Red Catuai coffee is deeply rooted in the rich tradition and generational expertise of the growers from Brazil’s Sul de Minas Region, an area with cooler climate that slows down coffee maturation, leading to denser beans with more developed flavours.

In this region, farming is a way of life,  with families passing down their knowledge and refining techniques over time. This tradition results in a coffee produced with high standards and representative of its heritage. Available exclusively through JA Coffee, ‘Red Catuai’ embodies the spirit and legacy of Brazilian Coffee. 

About Mantissa

Café Mantissa’s journey began in 1997, since then they have cultivated a diverse range of varieties including Yellow Bourbon, Red and Yellow Catuai, Arara, Mundo Novo, and Icatu. Mantissa was among the first in the region to invest in advanced coffee processing technology, contributing to its reputation for excellence. 

With a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation, the farm has earned multiple awards, including top placements in the Ernest Illy Sustainable Quality Coffee Award. Their dedication makes Café Mantissa more than a farm; it's a community built on shared passion and commitment to quality and the people behind each cup.

Fifteen years later, the journey continues, shaped by dedication and the hands that work the land. Mantissa isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about staying true to the region’s coffee heritage while always looking for ways to improve. From careful farming to thoughtful processing, every decision reflects a commitment to quality and the people behind each cup.
