Description

Fazenda Sertão: 100 Years Reserva

On Fazenda Sertão in Carmo de Minas, a group of Red Bourbon trees has been bearing cherries for more than a hundred years. The Pereira family has looked after these trees for generations, and this lot comes straight from them.

Processed natural, the cup opens with red fruits, settles into a sweet, full body and finishes with a gentle spice. We roast it medium light, so the fruit stays clear and the body keeps its weight.

Why it is called Reserva

Bourbon arrived in Brazil around 1860 and spread from there to other parts of South and Central America. Reserva means this is a specially selected lot, taken from the oldest and most prized trees on the estate. As with a reserve wine, the name is only given to lots with outstanding cup quality, and the quantity is limited.

Best brewed as: Filter (V60, Chemex, AeroPress) · water 93°C · ratio 1:15

Small batch. Direct trade. Traceable to the farm.

About this coffee

Our story
Explained

Behind this coffee

  • The process

    What does natural process mean?

    With the natural process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the bean still inside, usually on patios for two to three weeks. The fruit stays in contact with the bean, which tends to give more body, sweetness and fruit.

    It is the traditional method in Brazil, where a clear dry season makes it possible.

  • Small batch

    What is a microlot?

    A microlot is a small lot of coffee from one farm that is picked and processed separately. That keeps its own character intact and makes it traceable to the farm.

    Because the quantity is limited, a microlot is only available for a short time.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

What does this coffee taste like?

Red fruits up front, a sweet and full body, and a spicy finish. The natural process brings out the fruit, while the old Red Bourbon trees give the cup its depth.

How should I brew it?

As filter in a V60, Chemex or AeroPress, with water at 93°C and a 1:15 ratio: 15 grams of water for every gram of coffee. Espresso works too; pull it a touch shorter and taste as you dial it in.

Where does it come from, and what makes it a reserve lot?

It comes from Fazenda Sertão in Carmo de Minas, Minas Gerais, produced by Francisco Isidro Pereira and the Santuario Project. Reserva means the beans come from a specially selected lot of the oldest, most prized trees on the estate, some over 100 years old.

How dark is the roast?

Medium light, a 3 on our scale of 5 where 1 is the lightest. Strength sits at 5 out of 10, so it has body without being heavy.

Should I buy beans or ground coffee?

We roast in small batches, and grinding right before you brew keeps the most aroma. If you don't have a grinder, you can choose your grind when you order: medium to medium-fine for filter, slightly finer for V60 and slightly coarser for Chemex.
