Coffee Description
This coffee launches with fragrances of chocolate and nut butter paired with raisin bran, vanilla, and a delicate hint of cascara. In the cup, floral notes meld with almond milk, brown sugar, and just a touch of wildflower honey. Mellow and rich, sweetening as it cools, delicate rose florals and fruits surface, along with a kombucha-like acidity.

About José Isidro Pereira of Brazil
Coffee production at Fazenda Sertão dates back to the early days of coffee in the Carmo de Minas region, and in 1940, dentist José Isidro Pereira inherited the coffee farm when his mother passed away. Shortly thereafter, he met and married Nazareth Dias; over the years, they have coaxed excellence from their 270 mountainous hectares of land. Fast-forward to the present: currently, their 5 children help manage this and other family farms through the family’s firm, The Sertão Group, carrying on their parents’ commitment to developing and improving coffee, sustainability, and community infrastructure.
At Fazenda Sertão, coffee trees grow on slopes up to 50 degrees of steepness. This intense angle allows the plants to avoid frost damage, protects them against fungal infections thanks to lower relative humidity, and results in more uniform ripening of the cherries. These benefits in conjunction with high altitude and a perfect microclimate combine to produce a beautifully sweet coffee.
