BRAZIL: Pantano

5 lb : $71.25 2 lb : $39.00 12 oz : $16.25 (MSRP : $24.00) ABOUT: Born in 1956, in Altinópolis, deep in the heart of São Paulo’s Mogiana region, Wagner Ferrero seemed destined for coffee. The passion was already in his blood. His grandparents, Italian immigrants, had arrived in Brazil in 1912, seeking opportunity in the coffee fields. What began as their livelihood would become his life’s purpose. From that legacy, Ferrero grew into one of Brazil’s leading producers of specialty coffee. Today, his work stretches across more than 550 hectares of coffee plantations in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais. His roots extend even further, with another 250 hectares of coffee in the Mogiana region, between São Paulo and Minas Gerais, reinforcing the family’s historic connection to the land. Guided by innovation and a deep respect for nature, Ferrero combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices to produce coffees that honor his heritage — and continue to elevate Brazil’s reputation in the world of specialty coffee. This Yellow Bourbon lot underwent a washed process. The cherries were harvested at peak ripeness, then pulped to remove the outer skin. After pulping, the beans were thoroughly washed, eliminating all remaining mucilage. They were then dried on concrete patios until reaching the ideal moisture level. This method produces a cleaner, brighter cup, allowing the inherent characteristics developed during the cherry’s maturation to stand out with greater clarity. TASTING NOTES: Chocolate, Cream, Hazelnut ROAST LEVEL: Dark Roast RECOMENDED BREW METHOD: We recommend brewing this coffee as a espresso.
