Brazil Cassio Yamamoto Natural

Highlights

“Founded in 1974, Fazenda Agropesg first focused on several crops, including coffee, corn, soy and wheat, before gradually shifting more of its attention toward coffee production starting in 1997. In 2021, Cassio Yamamoto, son of Ernesto Yamamoto, returned to the farm to oversee its specialty coffee production. Since then, the team has continued to improve its work, both in agricultural practices and in processing and drying methods. This lot of Paraiso MG2 is a good example: the cherries were manually harvested over a defined period, then depulped before being patio-dried in thin layers, gradually deepened to slow the drying process. The coffee was then piled near the end of drying to even out moisture before resting and dry milling. The result is a clean, structured pulped natural coffee, typically Brazilian in its roundness, but lifted by an aromatic complexity that reflects the meticulous work done at the farm.”
