Grown at 1,100 meters on Fazenda Capim Branco, one of the Andrade family's two estates in Carmo da Paranaíba, this natural-process Paraíso lot (screen 16 up) was selected for its high sugar content, confirmed with a refractometer before hand-picking the ripest cherries. Expect citrus and yellow fruit sweetness, honey, and a creamy, dense body with a consistent, pleasurable finish.

Process Method
- 01
First, the coffee varietal best suited to the process is chosen. Due to the high level of glucose and fructose in the coffee cherry — confirmed with a refractometer — the Paraíso varietal was selected.
- 02
After varietal selection, the harvest team hand-picked only the ripe cherries from this varietal.
- 03
The ripe cherries were left whole with the skin intact and spread out to dry as natural process coffee, developing sweetness and body as the fruit dries around the bean.
- 04
The cherries were then moved to raised beds to dry slowly over 25 days, turned regularly for even drying. Slower drying promotes greater uniformity of the coffee beans.
