In the world of specialty coffee, there are places that transcend simple bean production and become true gems of the coffee industry. One such treasure is Finca Santuario Sul in Brazil, a corner where passion and innovation merge to create truly exceptional coffee experiences.
History of Finca Santuario Sul
Five years ago, Finca Santuario Sul was born, conceived under the same philosophy and techniques that gave life to Finca Santuario in Cauca, Colombia. Luiz Paulo Pereira Filho and Camilo Merizalde joined forces to plant the Yellow Bourbon variety as the star of the farm. In the years that followed, the farm became a coffee garden with 20 different species from all over the world. Each year, Finca Santuario Sul surprises with innovative processes that enhance the flavors of the exotic coffees grown in its fields. The Santuario project is in charge of coffee processing on the farm. Each season, Mr. Ivan Solis and Mr. Edwin Noreña, who are in charge of quality, travel to Brazil to personally oversee the harvesting work and coffee processes at Santuario Sul.
The Charm of the natural process
The natural process at Finca Santuario Sul is a choreography of precise steps that result in a coffee of extraordinary quality. It begins with a selective harvest, where only beans with brix sugar levels between 20 and 22 degrees are hand-picked. The cherries are meticulously washed with clean water and floaters are separated. Then, the cherries are submerged in water for two days, allowing the flavors to mature.
Finally, the drying stage takes place in the sun on African beds for 22 days, under carefully controlled conditions. The humidity is reduced to 10.5%, and to stabilize it, the coffee rests for 4 days in bags, allowing the flavors to concentrate and fully develop.
Finca Santuario Sul in Brazil is a testament to how a passion for coffee can lead to the creation of unique treasures. Every cup served from this farm's beans is an invitation to explore the exotic flavors and innovative techniques that intertwine to offer a coffee that transcends the conventional.
