Fazenda Samambaia Anaerobic Natural

About This Coffee

The very welcome return of this Brazilian beauty from Henrique Dias Cambraia of Fazenda Samambaia sourced through SanCoffee in Brazil. The cool, green hills of Sul de Minas provide ideal conditions for coffee growing and produce some of Brazil’s finest beans. For this special lot, processing starts by placing selectively harvested Yellow Bourbon coffee cherries in barrels. The cherries are layered with a fermented solution of sugar, water, and yeast. This solution was carefully created over a seven day period to cultivate the yeast. The cherries remain in the barrels with the yeast mixture for 48 hours, sealed with an airtight valve to ferment. Afterwards, the cherries are removed and cleaned to halt the fermentation process. They are then moved to patios to dry in the open sun until the ideal moisture content is reached. The dried cherries are rested then hulled to be prepared for export.
