About the farmer
Dr. Fabio Araujo Reiss, a retired medical professional, runs the Fazenda de Salto farm alongside his sons, Andre and Juca, and his daughter Anita. He developed a passion for growing coffee at a young age. This passion continued during his Medical studies at University.
For generations the farm has been in the Araujo Reiss family and was one of the first IMPACT-verified farms, demonstrating their long-standing commitment to social and environmental issues.
Many of their employees grew up on the farm they now work on.
About the region
Minas Gerais is a prominent coffee-growing region in southern Brazil renowned for producing high-quality Arabica coffee beans in the mountainous areas of the state. Its ideal climate and soil, combined with meticulous harvesting and processing methods, result in coffee with a well-balanced flavour profile, sweetness, and smoothness.
Minas Gerais’ mountainous terrain, mild temperatures, and sufficient rainfall provide optimal conditions for growing Arabica coffee with distinct flavour characteristics, such as fruity, floral, and chocolate notes.
About the process
Once the Yellow Bourbon coffee has been mechanically harvested, with manual harvesting reserved for the young and fresh plants to avoid damaging the trees, the coffee is placed in static boxes for drying where it undergoes a pre-fermentation phase of 12 hours with no airflow Next, cold air is blown through the cherries for four days, followed by three days of drying with warm air.
For the final drying phase, the coffee is alternated every 12 hours between warm and cold air until it reaches the ideal moisture level, resulting in a coffee with unique flavour characteristics with chocolate, fruity, and floral note, making it a truly delightful and flavorful coffee.
