About this Coffee
SGD 21
A41 Cherry Gold (Alma di Monti collection) is part of the Ipanema Gourmet coffee series that we are launching in 2023.
Ipanema Gourmet has been producing coffee since the 1870s, using their innovative and creative approaches to coffee, resulting in various exciting coffee profiles.
Beginning in 2018, Ipanema began their ‘Premier Cru’ range: a selection of very small batch, handcrafted lots from the highest altitudes of the Estate’s oldest farm, Rio Verde. This range of Premier Cru coffees is packed in cutting edge nitrogen-flushed vacuum-packed 20kg cartons. The method of nitrogen flushing, common with roasted coffee, stabilises the product by removing all traces of oxygen. Taking such care with green coffee is practically unheard of, even in specialty. The method speaks to the exceptional quality of these lots, which pushes the boundaries of what specialty coffee in Brazil can offer.
Rio Verde takes up 1,566 hectares of land and lies between 700 and 1,000 metres above sea level, separated into glebes (plots), all of which have varying altitudes, sun faces, soil composition and varietals.
This 100% Red Acaia lot was harvested on May 21st, 2022, from Glebe A41. The coffee was selectively hand-harvested and then processed using the traditional Natural method with an anaerobic fermentation for 118 hours. After processing, the cherries were dried on raised beds for 408 hours.
This coffee presents a delicate sweet red cherry and dried cranberry sweetness, with hints of rooibos tea and a brown sugar finish.
