For more than 60 years in the family, and now in the 4th generation, the Farm “OUR LADY APPEARED” won the top prize of the natural coffee produced in Brazil – LATE HARVEST CUP OF EXCELLENCE 2014.
Located in a privileged area in the Serra da Mantiqueira Mine in the city of Carmo de Minas, the farm brings great weather and temperature conditions, allies that good practice in post-harvest are essential elements for production of the finest coffees from Brazil and the world.
Our father fondly chose the location of crop Bourbon at 1200 mA
harvesting was selective and only the ripe beans in the consignment. Driving the yard was taken immediately after harvest and took no rain. Was tweaked and ransacked several times (so that the drought was uniform) by Ivanil, an official responsible for conducting
Coffee in the washer, yard, dryer and processing.
Our intention is to develop ourselves more and more in order to produce and commercialize a coffee that meets the highest quality standards required by potential partners from around the world.
2014 World Barista Championship – Back to the beans
Hidenori Izaki of Maruyama Coffee in Nagano, Japan has won the 2014 World Barista Championship in Rimini, Italy. He also 3 times national champion.
Behind his sucsess we find Maruyama Coffee Company – having won the Japanese barista championship in the last 5 years. Maruyama is known their Cup Of Excellence coffees.
Hidenori Izaki selected coffee–red bourbon and typica–both grown in Costa Rica. The beans were processed at the Monte Copey.
Hidenori Izaki highlights the importance of the terroir, the cultivating, and the processing.
On Monte Copey site there is an intresting picture:
For his winning routine, Izaka used coffees from Costa Rica processed at Microbeneficio Monte Copey, a four-generation mill and green coffee supplier run by the Navarro family, which supports their La Bandera de Dota farm at 1,900-plus meters above seal level in the Tarrazu region. A WBC event defines the next steps of the industry. I hope we focus on beans – beside laboratory.
