The famous coffee growing region "Sul de Minas" is located in the heart of the state Minas Gerais with its long mountain ranges, many small lakes and mineral-bearing soil. It was here, where the first plantations were founded more than 100 years ago. Among them is the "Fazenda Lagoa" where one of the most famous plantation coffees of the world is grown, with due consideration for the local ecosystem, on 400 hectares of land, at an altitude of 950 to 1,200 m. The plantation is surrounded by 660 hectares of protected rainforest which wolves, big cats and hundreds of different bird species call their home. The annual harvest of this plantation is between 8,000 and 12,000 sacks of 60 kg. Due to its geographical position and the high quality expectations, this coffee is picked exclusively by hand. The beans, which have been picked in the morning, are transported to the treatment facilities in the afternoon. There, they are processed in fi ve steps. First, any remaining twigs or leaves are removed before ripe, overripe and still green beans are separated from each other in a water tank. Later, a part of the pulp is removed and the beans, together with the remaining glassine coat, are dried in the sun. During this time, the coffee draws the sweetness from the remaining pulp. After two days, this fi rst drying process is fi nished and the beans are placed on wood-burning dryers, which are used to reduce their humidity content to 11═12 %. Character and Taste: This exceptional Brazilian coffee speciality excels due to its naturally mild and harmonic aroma. Its mild sweetness, as well as the long-lasting, chocolate-like aftertaste, will bring every coffee lover to gush about this speciality. The longstanding experience with sun-dried coffee can be experienced anew with each cup!
Origin and PlantationCaffeine is a natural substance, which is contained in many different plants, mainly, though, in the coffee plant. It acts invigorating and is, therefore, not suitable for just anyone at anytime. This is, however, no reason not to be able to enjoy coffee at all. Decaffeinated coffee was developed for exactly those people who may not consume caffeine or who want to avoid its invigorating effect. Many diffe different chemical processes were developed to decaffeinate coffee, all of which we strictly reject. Our decaffeinated coffee follows exclusively the natural "Swiss Water Process". During this process, no chemicals are used, only pure water. This conserves the original character of the coffee with its full flavour and aroma.Character and TasteAnyone who believes decaffeinated coffee to be dull and tasteless will be positively surprised. This coffee impresses with its expressive aroma as well as voluptuous taste and must not fear the comparison with its non-decaffeinated role model.
PARTICULARITIES
For many years, Colombian coffees were marketed by the Federación Nacional de Café FNC as the quality standard in large consumer countries such as the USA. Coffee for the masses without any real quality control was delivered to supermarkets for a bargain. Our coffee however, comes from small plantations, which are family-run and located in the southern regions of Colombia, such as Huila. When carefully producing these highly desired Arabica varieties the focus lies on quality.
