Producer and Region

This coffee is produced by Adriano Muñiz on Agropecuária Muñiz, located in Cabo Verde, Sul de Minas, Brazil. The farm sits at the heart of a region known for its balanced profiles and smooth mouthfeel. Since 1965, the Muñiz family has cultivated coffee across 109 hectares of land, combining tradition with an eye for innovation.

Adriano continues this legacy by investing in processing infrastructure and varietal research. His work has earned him a place among the most forward-thinking producers in the area, with recognition from regional quality competitions.

Cultivation and Processing

This lot consists of the Icatu variety and has been processed using an anaerobic natural method. Cherries were fermented in sealed environments to enhance complexity, before being dried with care in controlled conditions.

Adriano uses small-scale experimental plots to identify which varieties thrive in the local microclimate. This method allows for continuous improvement in both agronomy and cup quality.

The farm also uses mechanical dryers and wooden resting boxes for post-fermentation stabilisation, with final processing handled in collaboration with SMC, ensuring export-ready consistency.

Flavour

This coffee opens with deep notes of red fruits like grape, cherry, and strawberry. Expect a round yet fresh fruit acidity. Notes of chocolate and dried fig lead to a long, structured finish.
