Roaster

Casa Brasil Coffees

When Casa Brasil founder Joel Shuler went looking for high-quality Brazilian coffee in 2005, a local roaster told him flatly: "There is no such thing." Challenge accepted. Joel spent the next three years on the ground in Brazil, interning at co-ops, visiting hundreds of farms, and working his way up to judging national competitions. He eventually earned a master's degree in agricultural engineering from one of the world's top coffee research institutions. Today Casa Brasil is a pioneering force in bringing exceptional Brazilian beans to the U.S. market. I got to see that firsthand a couple of years ago, when I joined their head buyer on a Cup of Excellence jury in Brazil — and came home more convinced than ever that this is the roaster we needed to have on Bean Box. In the cup, expect the full range of what Brazil can do: naturally sweet, chocolaty, nutty, and surprisingly complex. Start Here: The Explore Brazil Box, three specially curated 12-ounce bags showcasing the beauty and diversity of the world's most important coffee producing country. The best possible introduction to what Joel has spent twenty years building.
