Field notes

From the Blending Table

Bahia’s Mata Fina grows small, dark leaf that cures naturally sweet — cocoa and soft coffee without any of maduro’s aggression. Arapiraca, its northern cousin, runs earthier and sturdier.

We use Brazilian leaf for dark-wrapper programs that should smoke gentler than they look, and as a filler accent that sweetens a liga without a single flavoring drop.
