This coffee was produced by third-generation producer Fabiano Borré and his family at Progresso farm, situated in Brazil’s Chapada Diamantina mountain range. This microlot is named Airumá after the full ‘starry sky’ that we enjoy every time we visit Progresso – the most spectacular display of stars we’ve ever seen.
The Borré family is deeply committed to the preservation of the natural environment of their farm and its surrounds. Their water is sourced from a nearby lake and is carefully conserved, and coffee pulp from processing is repurposed as organic fertiliser. Impressively, 45% of the property remains protected and uncultivated, in an effort to safeguard the land’s biodiversity (with over 400 species of flora and fauna found in the area).
In the cup, Airumá has all the qualities we seek out and adore in the Borré family’s coffees – it’s sweet, well-structured and balanced with a creamy body and a lovely hazelnut finish.
