BRAZIL Fazenda Rodomunho FIL

In the heart of the Cerrado, in Rio Paranaíba (Minas Gerais), lies Fazenda Rodomunho — a 90-hectare family farm that has been growing coffee since its first planting in 1985. Today, the farm is run by Thiago Corsi da Silva, the fourth generation. In recent years, the Cerrado has taken a hard hit: recurring frost and drought make climate-resilient farming a daily challenge. Rodomunho is therefore focusing on healthy soils and resilient plants.

The name of this lot refers to its processing. This Sidra is a fermented natural: after selective handpicking, the cherries ferment in a dark, cold room at a stabilized 18 °C, with oxygen and no added yeast. They are then dried as a natural on raised beds. Sidra is a rare, distinctly aromatic varietal.

In the cup: an expressive, fruity coffee with black tea, grape and green apple, cocoa, and a bright citrus note.
