Guariroba

From a COE-awarded farm, the elegant flavours of this lot recalibrate our expectations of Brazilian coffee. With five generations of coffee farmers behind him, Homero Aguiar Paiva's innovations are producing accolade-winning coffees. After previously featuring Homero's Cup Of Excellence award-winning coffees, Five Senses jumped at the opportunity to secure this micro-lot from Fazenda Guariroba. Showcased in the 'Best SanCup' competition, this coffee took the golden ripening Yellow Catuaí cherries, pulped them and then laid them out to dry. The attention to detail given to all areas from tree health to selective picking and attentive processing has resulted in a coffee that offers a unique set of flavours, broadening our understanding of what delicious Brazilian coffee can taste like.

SanCoffee is comprised of over 20 fazendas (estates), many of whom are well known in their own right; often placing in the Brazil Cup of Excellence. We’re proud to have a long history with this co-operative, stretching back to 2012! Coffee from their member estates supplies the backbone of some well-loved house blends, as well as some bangin’ lots both as single varietals and experimental processing types.
