This coffee was produced by our dear friend, coffee mentor and sourcing partner in Brazil, Silvio Leite. This is Silvio’s fourth harvest from his farm, Fazenda Cerca de Pedras, which is located in Piatã, a unique coffee growing region in Bahia’s Chapada Diamantina region. This particular microlot comes from ‘São Benedito,’ the largest and first plot to be planted at the estate.

About This Coffee

We have been working with Silvio for many years to find the best coffees that Brazil has to offer, and now we are happy to say that we are able to buy coffee produced by Silvio himself. He had long dreamed of owning his own farm, and we were delighted to see this dream come true in 2020.

Silvio purchased a 30-hectare farm in 2019, and so far, 6 hectares of it are planted with coffee. He is currently experimenting with some Gesha, SL-28, and Pacamara varieties on the land. However, this particular lot is 100% Catuaí.

To ensure success, Silvio has an excellent team working with him. Antônio Rigno, who owns the multi-award-winning São Judas Tadeu, serves as Silvio's advisor. Kleumon Silva Moreira, who owns Sitio Canaã, is the farm's manager. Wedson Marques de Souza, whose farm placed fourth in the 2021 Cup of Excellence competition, is also providing assistance. Silvio has worked with these producers as an advisor and business partner for many years, and there is a lot of trust and mutual respect among them. Together, we are excited to see what they can achieve!

At Cerca de Pedras São Benedito, the team begins processing coffee in the field. They carefully monitor the Brix degree of coffee cherries to determine the best time for picking. The cherries are hand-picked, primarily by local women known as "panhadeiras de cafe." These women are extremely disciplined and ensure that only the best cherries are selected.

The coffee is then processed using the pulped natural process. After pulping, the beans are dried in greenhouses with their mucilage still attached. The beans are spread in layers of about four centimetres and turned several times a day. This process is primarily done in the shade, slowing down and extending the drying time considerably. Silvio tells us that this stage is crucial in improving and "saving" the fructose and other positive attributes in the remaining mucilage, contributing to a higher quality and longer shelf life in the final cup. Finally, the beans are separated into numbered lots, stored and rested in parchment in a purpose-built warehouse, and then cupped for quality control before export.

Basic Brew Method

NORMCORE STYLE SUPER LIGHT ROASTING

We roast our single-origin coffees as lightly as possible. It's often lighter than the standard light-roast profile (Our development time ratio is 8-10%, while a typical light roast's ratio is around 13-16%).

Regardless of its origin, varietal or process, our approach is to maximise the flavour profile of the coffee by minimising flavours caused by roasting. Our single-origin coffees have a delightful silky texture and well-balanced taste, despite being lightly roasted.
