Synonymous with innovation and growth, Fazenda Sao Paulo has played a vital role in shaping the coffee industry in the Campo das Vertentes region, Minas Gerais. Established in the early 1980s as an agribusiness investment, the farm has grown into a beacon of development, providing work for hundreds of families and fostering progress in the local community. Coffee farming began modestly on the farm, but with dedication and passion, it has expanded to cover 800 hectares, becoming one of the group’s most prominent activities. At Fazenda Sao Paulo, sustainability didn’t start with a strategy or certification. It started with a belief that it’s possible to run a large, productive farm while still respecting the land, the animals, and the people who make it all happen.
For this lot, the cherries are harvested mostly by machines, which are adjusted to pick as many of the ripe cherries as possible. After harvest, they are immediately forwarded to paved drying patios, skipping the wet mill. Because there is no contact with water, this method helps prevent the development of unwanted ''fermented'' flavors. In the patios, the beans are spread out in extremely thin layers, almost “bean by bean”, without overlapping. This increases the exposure to the sunlight and therefore speeds up the drying process. Once the beans reach the final stage of drying, they are moved to mechanical rotating dryers that replicate patio conditions in a fully controlled environment. Temperatures are electronically preset at around 35-40°C, allowing for a consistent drying curve and therefore bringing more uniformity to the lot in terms of moisture content.
SWEET & FRUITY
Origin: Indonesia
Region: Botolinggo Village, East Java Province
Producer: Ijen Highlands
Altitude: 1250-1700 meters above sea level
Variety: Komasti, Andungsari, Bourbon, Kartika, Abysinia
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.75 points
Kevenka Coffees is a specialty coffee processor founded by two entrepreneur brothers, Kevin and Kenny Soewondo, from Surubaya in East Java. They initially entered the coffee industry by opening a cafe in their city, but over time began processing coffee sourced from local farms. Mount Ijen is located in East Java, approximately 3.5 hours’ drive from Bali, and is an active volcano in the province. Kevenka Coffees works with five areas on Mount Ijen, sourcing cherries from up to 500 different farms. All coffee is then delivered to their processing center in Botolinggo Village.
After harvesting, coffee cherries are washed, density-sorted, and color-sorted to remove defects. Anaerobic fermentation takes place in a tank for two days, with temperature and pH levels monitored. Then the cherries are dried for 11-13 days to reach the required moisture level. The dried cherries are hulled and sorted, and after final quality control, the coffee is ready for export.
LIGHT & JUICY
Origin: Kenya
Region: Nyeri County
Producer: Tegu Factory
Altitude: 1700 masl.
Variety: SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 86.00 points
The name “Tegu” means “low place,” reflecting its location in the foothills between Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare Range. The combination of rich soil, high elevation, and a cool climate slows the maturation of coffee cherries. This extended development period allows sugars and acids to concentrate, resulting in the bright, citrus-forward profiles that have become synonymous with Kenyan coffees. Located just outside the town of Karatina in Nyeri County, Tegu Factory is one of the largest and oldest wet mills within Tekangu Farmers Cooperative Society. Established in 1969, the cooperative now supports around 1,200 smallholder farmers, most of whom cultivate less than one hectare of land in nearby villages.
Harvesting is done entirely by hand, with farmers selectively picking only ripe cherries before delivering them to Tegu Factory. Once received, the cherries are carefully sorted to remove defects. The coffee is processed using the fully washed method, beginning with pulping and 12-16 hours of fermentation. Afterward, the coffee is soaked in clean water for an additional 24 hours, a step believed to enhance clarity and brightness in the cup. Drying takes place on raised beds inside covered structures, where the parchment is regularly turned to ensure even drying and protect it from heat and nighttime moisture. This stage typically lasts 7-15 days before the coffee is milled and prepared for export.
SWEET & FRUITY
Origin: Rwanda
Region: Nyabihu District
Producer: Smallholder producers
Altitude: 1800-2000 masl
Variety: Red Bourbon
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 86 points
Built in 2017, Shyira is a washing station situated at 2,000 meters above sea level, collecting cherries from neighbouring smallholder producers. This is among the highest-grown coffee we know of in Rwanda, from a region where very few washing stations exist, making it especially unique. Cherries are handpicked on remote mountain plots and carried down narrow paths to be carefully sorted, washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds beneath alternating sun and fog.
Coffee cherries are hand-sorted to remove any underripe fruit or foreign matter. They are then floated in tanks to separate any remaining floaters before the drying process begins. After sorting, the coffee is laid evenly across raised beds, allowing consistent airflow while keeping it elevated to protect it from moisture and animals. The coffee dries for around 30 days, turned regularly during peak sun and covered at night. Once fully dried, the outer fruit layer is removed, leaving the green coffee ready for export.

This is among the highest-grown coffee we know of in Rwanda, from a region where very few washing stations exist, making it especially unique. Cherries are handpicked on remote mountain plots and carried down narrow paths to be carefully sorted, washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds beneath alternating sun and fog.
Coffee cherries are hand-sorted to remove underripe fruit and foreign matter. They are then floated in pre-pulping tanks to separate floaters before being pulped. Next, the coffee is fermented in concrete tanks for an average of 12 hours. During this stage, the parchment is continuously agitated through ceremonial foot-stomping to help remove residual mucilage and separate lower-density parchment. Each washing station has its own song for the foot-stomping ceremony, which is sung to build pride and a sense of ownership among workers.
After fermentation, the coffee passes through a serpentine grading channel, where parchment is separated by density. After the final rinse, coffee is moved to a pre-drying area, where it is hand-sorted again to remove insect-damaged, discoloured, or chipped beans. It is then dried for around 30 days, regularly turned during peak sun hours and covered at night. Once fully dried, the green coffee is ready for export.
TRULY UNIQUE
Origin: Panama
Region: Palmira, Chiriquí Province
Producer: Hacienda La Esmeralda
Altitude: 1700+ masl
Variety: Gesha
Process: Blend of Washed and Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 90+ p
Blend of 50% Gesha Noria lot (Washed) and 50% Gesha Cabaña (Natural)
Originally a 1967 cattle ranch, Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda triggered a global phenomenon in 2004 when the Peterson family isolated a rare, high-altitude tree variety called Gesha—a discovery that changed specialty coffee forever. Today, Hacienda La Esmeralda is split into three distinct farms. Jaramillo sits in a steep, mist-shrouded mountain bowl on Volcán Barú, where competing ocean winds and deep shade create an elegant, incredibly sweet cup bursting with jasmine and bright citrus. Across the valley, Cañas Verdes climbs to a sun-drenched 2,050 meters, utilizing a sharp dry season to stress the trees into producing explosive tropical flavors. Finally, El Velo serves as a research hub, testing over 400 rare cultivars for climate resilience and next-generation cup quality.
A Geisha from the Noria lot at Jaramillo Farm, processed through a 120-hour low-temperature fermentation and dried on raised beds for 17 days, resulting in remarkable clarity and elegance.
Cabaña Abajo 4 ANB - sourced from the lower section of the Cabaña lot at Cañas Verdes Farm, this Geisha underwent a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation followed by 41 days of drying on raised beds, developing exceptional depth and complexity.
This artisan blend captures the elegance, depth, and remarkable complexity of some of the finest coffees on Earth.
This coffee was selected by our Lithuanian barista Ieva Šuopytė for her World Brewers Cup 2026 routine.
