Brazilian Coffee: The World's Largest Coffee Producer

At the same time, Brazil is also a leader in the world of specialty coffee.

Nowadays, the changes in specialty coffee are happening faster and faster.

To adapt to these changes, in addition to roasters and baristas, coffee farmers at the source also need to try new approaches.

For IP Estate, which is accustomed to using the Brazilian pulped natural method, change is urgently needed!

I. IP Estate

The full name of IP Estate is Fazenda Isidro Pereira. It was first purchased in 1967 by Isidro Pereira, Luiz Paolo's father. By 1974, Luis began expanding Fazenda Isidro Pereira, which now covers 720 hectares.

This estate cultivates Yellow Catuai, Acaia (Acaia, mainly grown in Brazil, a variety resulting from natural hybridization of Sumatran Bourbon), and Yellow Bourbon. The estate is located outside the city of Carmo de Minas, situated at elevations ranging from 950-1200 meters. The high altitude facilitates slow maturation of cherries and allows for selective harvesting, which is a decisive factor in producing excellent quality coffee.

IP Estate has been producing premium coffee for 50 years. However, the estate owner Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira is not someone who rests on past achievements. He has a strong interest in continuous innovation for farm development. He recently invested in a fully washed coffee processing system. Although many specialty coffees worldwide already use this processing method, fully washed processing is still uncommon in Brazil. Implementing such systems and equipment is very expensive and requires exceptional skill and extraordinary patience to achieve. IP Estate has experienced and overcome all difficulties to bring us a unique and subtle flavor profile.

Speaking of Carmo de Minas, you might recall a previous Starbucks Reserve bean: Brazil Sertão Yellow Bourbon.

Origin: Latin America · Brazil

Processing Method: Honey Process (Pulped Natural)

Body: Medium Acidity: Low

Variety: Yellow Bourbon

Flavor: Floral aroma accompanied by plum and dark chocolate flavors with honey-like sweetness

Food Pairing: Orange and lemon slices

Altitude: 1100-1450 meters

Sertão Estate belongs to the Sertão Group, and IP Estate is also one of the estates under the Sertão Group.

The estate is named after Jose Isidro Pereira, and his wife Nazareth Dias Pereira was a pioneer in coffee agriculture in the Carmo de Minas region. Furthermore, like other estates under the Sertão Group, IP Estate also produces the Yellow Bourbon variety, which is known for its very sweet and delicate quality. However, what makes the coffee we're using today different is that it's processed using the fully washed method.
