Description
producer
Santuário Sul is Luiz Paulo's experimental farm, spread over 300 acres in Carmo de Minas, with 30 varieties of coffee. The farm has won prestigious awards such as the Cup of Excellence. Carmo's reputation as a quality coffee-growing region is largely attributed to its ideal setting in the Serra da Mantiqueira mountains, renowned for their abundant natural springs. Luiz Paulo's expertise in processing natural coffees, such as this Sudan Rume, guarantees exceptional flavours thanks to precise, meticulous techniques.
process
The natural process, also known as the dry method, is one of the oldest and most traditional coffee processing methods. In this process, freshly harvested coffee cherries undergo no pulping steps to remove the outer pulp. Instead, the whole cherries are simply spread out on drying platforms, often raised beds in the open air, to dry in the sun.
profile
This Sudan Rume coffee from Carmo Coffees offers a unique experience. It stands out for its floral notes of rose, bergamot and black tea. It also has hints of lemongrass and cardamom, with lively acidity and tangy notes of green grape, lemon, lime and apple. Its fruit profile is more reminiscent of plums than berries, with nectarine sweetness and apricot aromas, as well as a unique guava fruit complexity.
