Origin and Plantation
The Brazil Capim Branco by Ismael José de Andrade is grown at an altitude of 1,150 m in the well-known highlands of Brazil, the Cerrado Plateau. This sun-kissed Yellow Catuai ripens to a brightly yellow fruit with a very intensive, sweet taste. As this coffee is dried in the sun, the fruit pulp remains on the coffee bean and its honey-like sweetness can penetrate the bean. This unique sweetness is clearly present in the cup later on.

Character and Taste
This coffee is fruity and sweetish, tastes slightly nutty and subtle notes of dark chocolate can be detected in the aftertaste. The Capim Branco of Ismael Andrade was awarded several times with the Cup of Excellence by the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA)

Particularities
Brazil is, without doubt, the largest producer of Arabica coffees in the world and is also among the largest Robusta producers. Its coffees are often offered in blends or as cheap Arabica varieties. We, however, consider Brazil from another point of view. We present finest plantation coffees, which offer a large array of unique flavour characteristics thanks to their specific origins and differing production methods.

Origin and Plantation
The region around the Atherton Tablelands is mainly known for its Rodeo Shows and tobacco processing. In the early 20th century, a significant amount of high-quality coffee was also cultivated; economic change and climatic problems were the reason for its abandonment. It is only since the 70s that coffee is yet again cultivated here. Amongst others on the Skybury Plantation close to Mareeba in northern Queensland.

Character and Taste
A coffee for lovers! It is very light and mild in flavour and is characterized by a pleasant spiciness. The Skybury has a lower caffeine content compared to other coffees.

Plantation Info
This family-owned plantation is located at altitudes of 550 - 600 m above sea level. On the Skybury plantation, the coffee is not only cultivated and harvested, but also peeled, selected and packaged. Originally the variety Arabica Typica was the only one that was planted, but a change was made to the Arabica Bourbon, which is more resilient. The annual production of this plantation amounts to approximately 150 tons of green coffee thanks to highly ambitious cultivation methods, such as the automatic irrigation system, mechanical harvests, selection and drying processes.

Particularities
You can say that Australia has developed its own coffee culture over the past years. Strongly influenced by Italy, you will find that all possible combinations offered in the coffee bars are based on Espresso. Actually, one would think that coffee cultivation should have developed accordingly here as well. After first tentative steps in the 20^th century, it was, however, completely ceased due to unprofitability and poor quality, but was started again in the 70s. Today, you can find excellent coffees that are available in limited
amounts on the world market.

Origin and Plantation
This coffee comes from the mountainous region of Mantiqueira, located in the southern state of Minas in Brazil. Mantiqueira means “the region where the clouds are lying”. This location and the inherent climatic conditions are ideal for cultivating coffee. With an average temperature of 18 °C and an average annual rainfall of 1,850 mm per year this region is famous for its mineral springs. Right in the centre of this region the farm Santa Lucia can be found which produces highest quality coffees and was awarded with the national Cup of Excellence in 2009.

Character and Taste
An exceptional Brazilian coffee with an aromatic and delicate taste with slight hints of fruit acid and chocolate. Perfectly roasted - a true delight!

Origin and Plantation
The famous Jacu Bird is produced on a farm located in the region of Pedra Azul, in the rural district of Domingos Martins, right in the heart of Brazil. At the beginning, the plantation owner (Henrique Sloper) was not amused when the Jacu birds, as large as a turkey, wreaked havoc on his farm and picked the sweetest and most ripe coffee cherries from the bushes. Remembering the popular Kopi Luwak (see page 207), the idea of the Jacu Bird coffee came to life. The digestion of the beans only takes up to two hours and so the beans are not yet affected by the stomach acids or the animal proteins, but the undesired bitter substances are extracted by the animal fermentation.

Character und Taste
The Jacu Bird is one of the most exclusive coffees in the world. As a result of this arduous and unique process you will be treated with a sweet coffee low in acid which will quickly win you over with its lightly sweet flavour and hints of almonds and apricots.

Origin and Plantation
The plantation Organic Camocim is located at high altitudes in the mountains of the Atlantic rainforest and is surrounded by natural vegetation. The excellent location offers perfect conditions for the biodynamic cultivation. The variety of plants, which is grown, is particularly suited for this cultivation method because it is very robust and already highly resistant to the brown mildew. Voluminous treetops and perfect preconditions ensure a substantial harvest, all without the use of pesticides. A natural, pure product, produced following the strict Demeter Organic Regulations. This is also reflected in the taste!

Character and Taste
Finest Arabica beans with a mild, sweet and nutty flavour will enthuse you with their full body and a low level of acidity.
