Brazil Fazenda Rainha COE Natural Yellow Bourbon

Country: Brazil

Grade: COE

Region: Mogiana (Fazenda Rainha)

Fazenda Rainha (Queen Farm) is located in the Alta Mogiana region of São Paulo state, north of São Paulo city. This farm enjoys high recognition in Brazil and is owned by the Carvalho Dias family. The family owns four major farms that have won awards every year since the first Brazil COE competition in 1999, with more than 12 awards in 7 years. In 2004, they even swept the championships, taking 1st, 9th, and 11th places. Many large and small farms in Brazil have hoped for years to be selected as winners, but this family's four farms have consistently taken home multiple awards. Fazenda Rainha boasts an impressive record: 2nd place in 2000, 3rd place in 2001, and 29th place in 2005. To date, Fazenda Rainha has won awards three times. FrontStreet Coffee's Brazil Fazenda Rainha Yellow Bourbon beans are inherently sweet and clean. Using the natural (or semi-natural) processing method reduces the acidity slightly while combining it excellently with sweetness, featuring tropical fruit aromas.

Located in the high-altitude region of São Paulo state near the Minas border, at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 meters, the farm enjoys abundant annual rainfall of over 1,800 mm without suffering from devastating floods. The average annual temperature is only 19°C, causing the coffee fruit to grow slightly slower but develop sufficient density. Although production is lower, the aroma and flavor are unparalleled by typical Brazilian highland coffees. The farm primarily grows Bourbon varieties, including some Bourbon trees over 110 years old.

Fazenda Rainha's Coffee Processing System

Ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked into cloth bags to avoid contact with the ground. Coffee cherries harvested on the same day are always sent to the farm's processing facility for Pulped Natural processing on the same day. Using hand-picking and cloth bags for post-harvest collection avoids earthy flavors and any improper fermentation. When these harvested coffee cherries arrive at the processing facility, they immediately undergo "washing": the cherries are cleaned thoroughly, and unqualified or dried fruits (bóia beans) are screened out based on bean size. Qualified beans continue to the depulping process (using a pulper machine).

After depulping, the coffee beans still have some mucilage attached to the parchment. At this stage, these beans with residual mucilage are placed on patios to dry until the moisture content drops to around 20%. This stage allows the coffee beans to absorb their own starch components while avoiding the drawbacks of full natural processing, where drying process flavors can be difficult to control. These residual starchy components from the mucilage create special sweetness without becoming uncontrolled off-fruit flavors or developing moldy tastes.

Afterward, the beans are sent to drying machines for final drying, bringing the moisture content to 11% before being transported to storage for resting. Before export, the beans are hulled and graded. This segmented Pulped Natural processing method is one of the main reasons for Fazenda Rainha's consistent flavor profile. Of course, insisting on using Bourbon varieties is another reason for her excellent reputation!

Farm Introduction:

This Fazenda Rainha belongs to the renowned and respected coffee family Carvalho Dias family. The family's four major farms have won awards every year since the first Brazil COE competition in 1999, with more than 12 awards in 7 years. In 2004, they even swept the championships, taking 1st, 9th, and 11th places. Many large and small farms in Brazil have hoped for years to be selected as winners, but this family's farms have consistently taken home multiple awards. Even this Fazenda Rainha purchased by Osch has an impressive record: 2nd place in 2000, 3rd place in 2001, and 29th place in 2005. To date, Fazenda Rainha has won awards three times.

The Carvalho Dias family are also founding members of the Brazilian Specialty Coffee Association, and their commitment to coffee quality and environmental protection is evident to all. Within their family farms, they utilize natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydroelectric power, becoming self-sufficient in electricity needs (another of their award-winning farms is named after this waterfall - Waterfall Farm). They have built churches, classrooms, nurseries, medical stations, and insist on maintaining original native forests and continuous reforestation. Taking Fazenda Rainha as an example, environmental protection is quite thorough. Due to the high altitude and non-plain terrain, machines cannot be used for harvesting - all fruit is harvested entirely by hand. They also grow low-yield, high-quality Bourbon varieties, making it a representative estate of Brazil's premium coffee essence!

Fazenda Rainha belongs to the Carvalho Dias family and has been in operation for over 116 years. Located in the high-altitude region of São Paulo state near the Minas border, at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 meters, the farm enjoys abundant annual rainfall of over 1,800 mm without suffering from devastating floods. The average annual temperature is only 19°C, causing the coffee fruit to grow slightly slower but develop sufficient density. Although production is lower, the aroma and flavor are unparalleled by typical Brazilian highland coffees. The farm primarily grows Bourbon varieties, including some Bourbon trees over 110 years old. Besides growing Bourbon varieties, Fazenda Rainha's meticulous and thoughtful processing methods are another key to her exceptional quality:
