IMPORTING PARTNER: Los Volcanes Coffee

This microlot is the initiative of friends & partner, Los Volcanes. They wanted to have a lot that spoke directly to the showcasing of varietal genetics and terroir. The ripe Yellow Bourbon cherries are naturally processed because that is the prevailing processing method in Brazil, but the cup profile you get when brewing this coffee is less process-forward than what you may expect of a natural. Instead, you get a beautiful representation of the plant varietal, showcasing the inherent sweetness and acidity of Yellow Bourbon. Spearheading the opperation in Brazil for Los Volcanes is Guiherrme Martini. In collaboration with Rio Brilhante, the Yellow Bourbon trees were planted in 2021 and we are thrilled to be representing some of the earliest harvests to make it into the US market.

About the farm:

Rio Brilhante is run by one of the migrant families who left the south of Brazil in search of new opportunities. Inácio Urban, the founder, was born in the southernmost state of the country, Rio Grande do Sul, and is of German descent. Upon arriving in Brazil, Inácio’s family worked producing agricultural food products but on a much smaller scale. In the 80’s, Inácio foresaw a giant opportunity in the Cerrado Mineiro region. At the time, land in this region was considered undesirable and, as a result, was very cheap. To start Inácio planted 20 hectares of coffee, as he says "to learn what it is like to grow coffee”. Over the last 40 years he continued to purchase more land and planting more coffee, eventually growing the farm to it’s impressive current size. In 2006 Inácio’s children, Erika Urban and Fernando Urban, joined their father in the management of the farm. The arrival of the second generation of the family represents continuity of work and the possibility of innovation. Noé, Inácio's son-in-law, joined the family and the farm a few years later.
