Just under 40% of all coffee in the world is produced in Brazil – around 3.7 million metric tons annually. With so much coffee produced, it’s no wonder that the country produces a wide range of qualities. Brazil produces everything from natural Robusta, to the neutral and mild Santos screen 17/18, to the distinctive Rio Minas 17/18. In recent years, Brazilian producers have also begun investing more heavily in specialty coffee production. Through our in-country partners in Brazil, including our sister company, we are able to provide a wide range of Brazilian coffees to our clients: from macrolot to microlot.
Today, the most prolific coffee growing regions of Brazil are Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia. Most Brazilian coffee is grown on large farms that are built and equipped for maximizing production output through mechanical harvesting and processing. The relatively flat landscape across many of Brazil’s coffee regions combined with high minimum wages has led most farms to opt for this type of mechanical harvesting over selective hand-picking.
In the past, mechanization meant that strip-picking was the norm; however, today’s mechanical harvesters are increasingly sensitive, meaning that farms can harvest only fully ripe cherries at each pass, which is good news for specialty-oriented producers.
In many cases and on less level sections of farms, a mixed form of ‘manual mechanized’ harvesting may be used, where ripe coffee is picked using a derriçadeira – a sort of mechanized rake that uses vibration to harvest ripe cherry. A tarp is spanned between coffee trees to capture the cherry as it falls.
With the aid of these newer, more selective technologies, there’s a growing number of farms who are increasingly concerned with – and able to deliver – cup quality.
Tasting Notes: Clean acidity, bright sweet molasses, cherry notes, creamy body with a good finish.
FAQs about Brazil Sitio Boa Esperanca – Cherry Bourbon Coffee
Brazil Sitio Boa Esperanca – Cherry Bourbon is a single-estate Brazilian coffee from Sítio Boa Esperança in the Low Mogiana region. It’s a Bourbon varietal grown at 1200 masl, harvested from April to June, and known for bright sweetness, cherry-like notes and a creamy body.
This coffee comes from Low Mogiana, Brazil, from the Sítio Boa Esperança estate.
Sítio Boa Esperança is owned by Andre Luis Paradela and the estate size is 11 hectares.
The coffee is grown at 1200 masl.
This lot is 100% Bourbon, a classic variety often associated with sweetness and a rounded, balanced cup.
This coffee is processed using the Cherry method. In practical terms, it points to a process choice that keeps fruit character and sweetness front and centre, which fits the molasses sweetness and cherry notes in the cup profile.
The tasting notes highlight clean acidity, bright sweet molasses, cherry notes, and a creamy body with a good finish. It’s sweet and lively, but with a smooth texture that keeps it easy to drink.
A score of 85.75 places this coffee firmly in speciality territory. It suggests strong sweetness, clarity and balance, with enough character to stand out as a distinct single-estate lot.
A medium roast is a good fit if you want to keep the molasses sweetness and cherry character while building a creamy body. A slightly lighter roast can lean into the clean acidity, while a slightly darker roast will usually push it towards deeper sweetness and a rounder finish.
This style works well as espresso and in milk drinks, where the creamy body and molasses sweetness come through clearly. It’s also a great filter option when you want a sweet, clean cup with gentle fruit rather than sharp acidity.
Store green coffee cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and strong odours, ideally sealed in the original bag or a food-safe liner inside a lidded container. Store roasted coffee at room temperature in an airtight bag or tin and use it within a sensible time frame to keep the aromatics fresh.
