Description

It's a pleasure to welcome Fazenda Rio Brilhante back to the menu this year, kicking off the season with this naturally processed coffee from the Limão Rosa sector of the estate. Complex lychee notes highlight the exceptionally clean fruit character of this coffee, which is supported by layers of nutty sweetness and a creamy body. This is a truly special expression of Brazil's quality potential.

Background

Fazenda Rio Brilhante sits within a micro-region called Pântano which is located in the state of Minas Gerais. Pântano is known for its well-defined seasons, consistent seasonal rain, and overall favorable climate for coffee production. Specifically, these conditions are ideal for producing natural processed coffees, which represents on average 80% of the production of the farm. The harvest is mostly done mechanically using a colheitadeira (harvester) - specific machinery to perform this activity. Careful calibration of this equipment makes it possible to determine the quality and ripeness point at which coffee cherries should be harvested, resulting in more uniform and consistent lots. After picking, the cherries pass through a station that sorts by density - the denser and higher quality cherries are separated in order to create pulped natural and natural processed coffees that will receive more detail focused fermentation and drying.
