Ever since we opened our doors at Soma, Brazil has been our most popular Coffee Origin. There is something about chocolate & nut flavours, backed up by a rich body, subtle acidity and a good amount of sweetness that just tickles the tastebuds of the everyday coffee drinker. Last year we decided to go a step further and actually travel to Origin and meet some of the farmers and learn more about the process involved.
This coffee is our second to release this year from Fazenda Santuário Sul meaning 'The Sanctuary' and is produced by
Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira, who is a fourth-generation coffee farmer.
Fazenda
Santuário Sul is a 120-hectare farm, 80 hectares of which are planted in coffee. Luiz is very curious about innovation through varieties and processing experiments, and he uses
Santuário Sul as a kind of "test" farm for some of his ideas. Among the 30 varieties and cultivars grown there, is this SL28 variety which is typically grown in Kenya.
This coffee is another Direct Trade coffee here at Soma and this means this came straight from the farm to us without any middle men. A better price is paid to the farmer and all the farms workers. This exceptional coffee has all the tasty attributes of an Kenyan coffee and all the comfort of a Brazilian wrapped up in one. This coffee is a complete fruit bomb with flavours of Plum, Red Grape, Pear and Pineapple all topped off with a hint of Nutmeg on the finish.
