Producers: Maria Soraia Guimaraes, Fazenda Salitre
Delighted to share this anaerobic small lot from Brazil.
"Unique for her region, coffee on Soraia’s farm is picked by hand, not by a harvester. In this and every other way, Soraia is a careful producer, following up on everything that happens on her farm, from crop management to processing and employee development.
Her son Augusto works with her. Together they have brought in awards from Cup of Excellence, the Minas Gerais State Coffee Quality Awards, Cerrado Mineiro Region Coffee Awards and Florada Contest – the last one focused on women producers. Soraia is very excited about having her coffee in the USA for the first time and is already eagerly looking forward to the next harvest.
In 2023, Maria experimented with a different fermentation process using a water tank as a fermentation vessel."
