Ateliê 407 x Mint Restaurant x 80+ Coffee x futr.: Nazareth's Formula II - Mint Special Edition
This Yellow Bourbon is produced by Nazareth Pereira from the Fazenda Sertão in Brazil. It's a fantastic example of how Brazilian coffee producers are extremely talented when it comes to growing interesting coffees for the specialty coffee world. This natural process coffee surprises with its extreme sweetness and a very clean low acidity, being able to give you a very elegant and velvety cup of espresso.
Fazenda Sertão is an 850-hectare farm with 330 hectares planted in coffee of several varieties, including Red and Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catucai, and Yellow Catuai. The farm also grows bananas and corn, and is used to raise dairy livestock.
This farm has a love story behind it: Among the first generation of coffee growers in this area was Jose Isidro Pereira, a dentist-turned–coffee producer who inherited Fazenda Sertão from his mother when she passed away—an incident that ended his dentistry career but put him on a path to coffee farming. In 1949, Jose Isidro met the "love of his life," Nazareth, who continues to run the farm her husband left in her care. Nazareth and Jose Isidro's children—Francisco, Luiz Paulo, Clycia, and Sandra—are also coffee producers, carrying on the family tradition.
Carmo de Minas is a part of the region of Sul de Minas that historically has been dominated by smaller coffee producers. The town of Carmo has a high number of specialty coffee producers. The harvest period is from late May until September.
