Description

For our second release from Fazenda Rio Brilhante this year, we present an espresso profile with layers of juicy watermelon and the bright/sweet flavors of key lime, supported by creamy nut butter and a syrupy mouthfeel. This naturally processed coffee from the "Fosforico" region of the estate is easily one of our favorite lots to date.

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.
