Roasting Bourbon !

Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing country, is said to have a low presence as a specialty coffee producer, as large-scale cultivation is the norm in the country.

However, there are producers who are passionate about producing specialty coffee.
The producer we will introduce this time, Eduardo Campos, is one of them.

We operate three farms, Sant Joan Grande, Dona Nenen, and Boa Sorte, in the Cerrado region, which is famous for producing high-quality coffee in Brazil. Although the Cerrado region is not at a high altitude, it has a sufficient temperature difference, and produces Brazilian Arabica coffee of exemplary quality.

Mr. Eduardo Campos always pays attention to the protection of the natural environment, and produces with the aim of returning the land to nature without touching anything other than the land necessary for agricultural production. We are also actively working to regenerate trees in accordance with the vegetation on cultivated land, maintain good water quality in rivers, and maintain vegetation.

The cultivation of coffee beans is carried out with the motto of always maintaining cleanliness throughout the process from harvest to production. Similarly, we have created a system in which our employees can work with peace of mind by strictly observing the country's labor laws, clearly stating their rights and obligations. We have received certification from the Rainforest Alliance for these efforts.

The harvest time is determined with great care, and the fruit is harvested by hand and by machine, with the weight adjusted according to its ripeness.

At San John Grande Farm, disease-resistant hybrid varieties such as Catuai, Mundo Novo, and Paraíso are grown, but the one we will be introducing is a Bourbon coffee that has been carefully selected with Anaerobic.

Bourbon , once Brazil's main variety and one of the two main original species of Arabica coffee, has excellent flavor, but it has now been almost entirely replaced by disease-resistant varieties, and only a small number of farms in the Cerrado region still grow Bourbon .

This anaerobic-finished Bourbon from the precious Saint John Grande Farm is a limited batch made for CROWD ROASTER . You can't get it anywhere else.

Mr. Eduardo Campos is one of the most advanced producers in the Cerrado region, and has been researching anaerobic fermentation for about 10 years.

This batch is a complex and distinctive coffee with a Brazilian aroma, a fruity acidity that is uncharacteristic of Brazilian coffee, and a slight fermented taste that is characteristic of anaerobic coffee. This is a limited batch from CROWD ROASTER that gives us a glimpse of new possibilities for Brazil.
This is a recommended brand for those who are not very good at anaerobics.
