Brazil Fazenda Mio ACIME - Rare/Exclusive Filter

Brazil Fazenda Mio ACIME -  Rare/Exclusive Filter

This is one of a few very special and small lots we have purchased from Mio along with our espresso coffees. This is a testament to the innovation and care that Mio take to their coffees and push the boundaries of what is possible and creating new and exciting taste experiences from their coffees on the farm,

This year Mio have a new system for how they name their coffees and give the roasters the tools to make it their own using these new flash cards. Dachadru is broken down as:

A - Sugar sweet

CI - Citrus

ME - Red berry

• Producers + Mill:

Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil. They cover exports, imports, storages and sell coffee. The coffee is harvested with care by Mió workers, you can see their names on the infographic images, as well as where and when each stage of the coffee production has taken place.

The farm spans a total of 1,589 hectares with a third of the land is used for the coffee processing and milling facilities, some pasture areas and the plantation of eucalyptus trees, which is home to large hives of bees.

The rest of the land is equally divided between the coffee trees and the native forest reserve. With plenty of spring water in the estate, one of Mió’s responsibilities is to not only maintain the water flow but to also improve water quality as their supplies support the local town and surrounding communities.

• Process:

Aerated Fermentation ― Bag 48h
A mix of anaerobic and aerobic fermentation creates two environments in one. Coffee cherries close to the walls of the fermentation bags are in contact with oxygen, whilst the cherries in the middle of the bags are kept away from it. This method uses endogenous microorganisms (i.e., contained in the coffee cherries) to produce a brighter and more complex flavour profile.
