Brazil - Drum Fermented Natural - Fazenda Mirante

GrainPro package 60 kg

Coffee production in Brazil accounts for approximately one-third of all coffee production, making it by far the world's largest producer for the past 150 years. In central Brazil, the vast Cerrado savannah is interrupted by seemingly endless plateaus called Chapadas. These cover the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Minas Gerais, making them one of the largest coffee-producing regions in the world.

This coffee comes specifically from the Sul de Minas region (southern Minas Gerais) from the Fazenda Mirante farm owned by farmer Pedro Gabarra. The farm has a total area of ​​102 hectares, of which 71 are dedicated to growing coffee. Since its inception, it has placed considerable emphasis on producing high-quality coffee while also improving the social and environmental impact of the farm. Some of their projects include improving waste management systems, providing environmental education in schools, and opening a farm to rehabilitate and release over 900 animals (the Wings project). They also installed solar panels in 2019 and eventually achieved carbon neutrality certification in 2022.

After selective harvesting of ripe red cherries, they are placed in oak barrels where they ferment for several days without access to oxygen. After fermentation, the cherries are placed on a terrace where they are dried in the sun.
