The Cup
A smooth, rounded profile, with notes of milk chocolate, cinnamon, and toasted almond. The slow drying process creates a background of sweet fruit, like ripe plum or raisin. Pronounced sweetness and low acidity make this lot a delicious match for milk.
The Farm
Valdemir Oliveira dos Reis operates Sítio São João alongside his wife and children. The property has been in his family for generations, and has a long history of producing quality coffees. Work at the farm is all completed manually, including harvest and fertilisation, with an emphasis on small expressive lots. Since 2016 the family has competed in the Força Café contest, earning first prize in both 2016 and 2017. Located on the northern side of the Serra da Mantiqueira Mountain range in the southern part of the state of Minas Gerais, the Mantiqueira de Minas region is a demarcated area of 25 municipalities. It is officially recognised as an Indication of Origin for its tradition and worldwide reputation of producing coffees with unique sensory profiles.
The Process
This lot of coffee underwent natural processing, which begins immediately after harvest. First, the coffee is carefully sorted to remove any defects. Then, it is moved to the drying area, where it is spread in thin layers and consistently turned to ensure even drying. During this stage, which includes both fermentation and drying, the moisture levels are carefully monitored. Finally, after milling, the coffee is packed into GrainPro bags to maintain its humidity and preserve its sensory attributes.
