21 Fazenda Baixadão - Brazil 2022

The 1310 meters of elevation and the fields protected by a magnificent wall of rock help tell the story of Sítio Aradillo, which is preparing to make history.

Located in the Central-West of Minas Gerais, the farm belongs to young couple Pedro and Rayssa Brás.

The region is blessed by the Serra da Canastra and all the natural wonders it provides.

Rayssa inherited her love for coffee from her father and, at third-generation producer Pedro’s side, supports the movement to better value the region’s coffees.

Through example, they inspire innovation in search of consistent quality of the beans – always balancing costs, productivity and the environment. Nowadays the farm has 23,900 coffee trees of great productivity and high quality, with the goal of becoming an example farm in the Lageado area of the Serra de Canastra region of Minas Gerais, attesting to its good agricultural practices and innovative post-harvest techniques .

LIMITED GEISHA LOT

This coffee comes from clay loam soil, well-structured with good permeability. The plants are grown at an elevation of 1310 meters.

The first harvest of this coffee on the farm was in 2021. It was very small, but a thorough harvest, taking full advantages of the perfect beans.

This lot was prepared with much care and attention. Hand-picked Geisha, only fully-ripened cherries, taken to African beds to dry to the ideal humidity.

The Canastra Geisha coffee exhibits a smooth aroma with intense jasmine notes. In the drink it has delicate, balanced and brilliant acidity, with notes of white wine and berries, mango, papaya and tangerine. The aftertaste is long with distinct clementine notes.
