The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Single-farm selection

Partners selected Yellow Bourbon from Fazenda Sertão in Carmo de Minas.

02
Natural processing

The exact release is identified as naturally processed; the current product page does not publish a lot-specific fermentation or drying schedule.

03
Light roasting

Partners applies a light roast to preserve sweetness and the coffee's full-bodied nut and fruit profile.

What was added?

Nothing is described as added to the coffee.

What wasn't added?

The product page does not disclose a harvest date, fermentation duration, or exact drying protocol.

Why it matters

The verified farm, producer, cultivar, process, and geographic relationships distinguish this exact coffee from other Pereira family lots.

What you might taste

Cocoa, fresh fig, roasted hazelnut, and honey with a full body.

Same coffee, different roaster?

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.
