Tasting Notes
A coffee with a distinctive character and a rich body.
The aromas evoke dark chocolate, raw cacao and roasted hazelnut, followed by notes of aromatic wood, mild tobacco and warm spices. On the palate, the body is round, the texture syrupy, the acidity mild, and the finish long and enveloping, leaving an impression of depth and warmth.
Les Producteurs De Flores
Volcanic soil, an island culture
The producers of Rende Nao live in the heart of a spectacular setting: steep mountains, lush forests, dormant volcanoes, and the sea just a stone’s throw away. Their coffee is grown on small family plots, often using agroforestry practices, in the shade of fruit trees. Each harvest is done by hand, and each batch is sun-dried on beaten earthen areas or on tarps, depending on wind and rain conditions.
This farming method, rooted in local traditions, respects the island’s natural rhythm. The Wet Hulled process practiced here is not merely a technical choice, but an adaptation to the climate and a hallmark of identity. It produces bold, authentic coffees, of which Rende Nao is now one of the finest examples.
Flores Rende Nao Wet Hulled is a coffee with character: deep, warm, and full-bodied—just like the island from which it takes its name.
