This coffee comes to us from producer Ivan Junqueira Ribeiro, owner of Fazenda Cruzeiro, a farm in Brazil’s Campo das Vertentes region. The farm, established in 1923, spans a total of 1,021 hectares of which 381 are planted in Red Catuai, Yellow Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Topázio, Arara, and Rubi. Cherries here are picked ripe using both mechanical and manual harvesting techniques. After harvesting, cherries are moved to a cement patio for drying.
Brazilian microlots are a relatively new entry into the world of specialty coffee, compared to larger-scale farming operations that are common here. Our microlots are typically either a small selection of specialized coffee kept separate from the total volume of coffee a single estate produces, or they are sourced from the many smallholder producers (10–30 hectares) that exist throughout our usual sourcing regions. Microlots are expected to have both the highest level of quality and, subsequently, the highest tier of pricing.
