Brazil
New to the neighbourhood, this natural coffee is from Sitio Pereira in Serras De Minas, Brazil. It’s a cherry chocolate brownie in a cup. We’ve been loving it on espresso but it works well with other brewing methods too. It’s a real crowd-pleaser!
Alex Pereira inherited the Sitio from his parents in 2015. He has dedicated his life to producing high-quality coffee ever since. Pereira started by selling his coffee to Multi Nationals to be used in blends. Until our friends at Legender cupped his coffee and highlighted a single-state lot of incredible quality. Now, Alex focuses on post-harvesting practices. He can deliver such a high-quality that he can now charge a premium for his hard work.
Serra de Minas is a region known for higher quality due to altitude, soil and practices. Most producers in the region are aware of the potential and eager to join quality programs. However, the small-scale production. was always a barrier. Many producers process the dry cherries in a shared dry mill to overcome this. This has facilitated access and logistics for small lots, meaning we can enjoy more coffee from this wonderful region.
This coffee undergoes a natural process. The cherries are left to dry on a cemented patio under the warm sun for 15 days. The coffee rests in a thin layer and is turned multiple times a day to ensure it dries evenly.
The result is a coffee packed full of rich cherry chocolate flavour, like a cherry chocolate brownie. The red cherry flavour is vibrant and juicy. Then it finishes with note of burnt sugar, like the top layer of a Crème Brûlée (the fun bit that you crack with your spoon). We think this coffee was born for espresso, but you’ll get a great brew with an AeroPress or Cafetiere too.
