- altitude mThe source publishes a 900–1,150 metre estate range rather than one lot elevation, so no scalar altitude was stored.

Inácio Urban founded Fazenda Rio Brilhante in the 1980s. His children joined management in 2006; today the Urban family runs the estate with Los Volcanes Coffee supporting agronomic and processing protocols.
Partners presents Coração de Melão as a dense, sweet and full-bodied natural suited to automatic drip, Chemex or V60.
Partners's fourth year buying from a large, traceable Cerrado Mineiro estate whose 45 production sections allow controlled selection across varieties and locations.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Rio Brilhante organizes its 2,700 hectares into 45 production sections by variety and location; Partners lists Bourbon, Topazio and Catuaí in this lot.
The large, mostly flat estate uses calibrated combine harvesters during the May/June–September farm harvest.
The lot is identified as natural; the exact drying surface, duration and fermentation protocol are not published.
No fruit, spice or flavoring ingredient is disclosed.
The exact lot page does not publish a drying duration, drying surface or separate fermentation stage.
The profile now preserves the verified natural process without inventing drying specifics from other Rio Brilhante lots.
Milk chocolate, roasted hazelnut, dried apple, pear, papaya and honeydew.

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.
Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Other roasters, same producer.
These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
