Origin 

south shrine
The project started in 2015, Fazenda Santuario was born from the goal of being ahead of market trends. The goal was to bring coffees from different regions of the world, carry out genetic selection here and transform the profiles of Brazilian coffees into more complex profiles, with different flavors. But it is not easy, the coffees that grow here are a reflection of the stubbornness of Luiz Paulo and his partners. Today, in addition to traditional Brazilian varieties (such as Yellow Bourbon), the farm has more than 30 exotic coffee varieties, differentiated cultivation practices (such as shade planting) and innovative post-harvest practices (New Flavors Project).
South Sanctuary is located next to one of the most traditional farms in Carmo de Minas, Irmãs Pereira, where its coffee is processed. With great care, the varieties planted here are carefully monitored so that they can offer the best results in the climatic conditions of the region. In addition, Luiz Paulo himself makes it a point to always taste the first samples of each of these coffees. In the coming years, Luiz Paulo has no doubts: "The goal is to always be at the forefront of the market and offer ever higher quality!"

Variety

The Bourbon 300 variety planted at the Santuário Sul farm originally comes from the Antigua region of Guatemala. It is one of the varieties of Bourbon found in the country and is considered genetic selection (not natural aging).

It is a variety characterized by relatively low production, susceptibility to major diseases, but excellent cup quality.

"In addition, we know that there are several mutations in different countries, but this is one of the varieties with the greatest ability to adapt to our climate." Its fruits are red and have adapted well to the Brazilian climate. The variety was planted at the Santuário Sul farm about 7 years ago.

Cultivation & processing

Just as other exotic varieties are harvested on the farm, this cherry is also harvested by hand. The beans are then moved to a dishwasher for an even better flavor profile. The drying process is carefully monitored by the farmer himself and takes place in greenhouses on suspended beds with UV protection.

Recommended preparation

The coffee is roasted as an omni roast. So you can try it as an espresso or in the form of filtered coffee.
