Brazil – Fazenda Irmãs Pereira – Carmo Best Cup – Yellow Bourbon – Women-Owned – Archived

Taste: Brazil coffees are so popular as espresso blenders, we sometimes forget how wonderful some of the higher quality beans taste on their own.  We’re sure you’ll enjoy the bright and clean mouthfeel of this citrus cup.  It is well balanced with a sweet toffee and chocolate finish.

Roast: Stop the roast just before 2nd crack to highlight the citrus and chocolate toffee flavors.  Starting with a slightly lower charge temp and elongating the development phase adds to the natural sweetness.

About: Sisters Maria Valéria and Maria Rogéria own the 90-acre farm known as Irmãs Pereira Estate (which means “Pereira Sisters,” a fitting name), which they inherited from their parents, who bought the property (then called Fazenda Serrado) in the 1970s. Maria Valéria and Maria Rogéria helped on the farm from the time they were both very young, and when they both got married they jointly took on the farm management. They process coffee many different ways including Naturals and Honey process. All of their coffee is dried on raised beds or on patios.
