Coffee Details

About This Coffee

This lot earned the #3 spot in Brazil's Cup of Excellence — the country's most rigorous green-coffee competition, where the highest-scoring microlots are judged blind by an international panel. A top-three finish places this Gesha among the finest coffees Brazil produced that harvest.

Founded in 1887, Fazenda Rio Verde began with a wedding, passed down as a gift between families and tended across generations ever since. Set in the heart of the Mantiqueira Mountains, it is now the oldest and flagship farm of the Ipanema Agrícola group, home to a state-of-the-art mill and processing centre, surrounded by untouched forest, crystal-clear springs, and ecological trails that balance production with preservation.

Sustainability sits at the core of everything here: an environmental monitoring centre oversees rigorous water management, native-species reforestation, the protection of wild bee populations, and continuous study of local fauna and flora. The mineral-rich, clay-heavy Mantiqueira soil is one of the farm's greatest assets — and, paired with a team devoted to quality, the reason a Gesha this expressive is possible.

How to Brew Brazil Fazenda Rio Verde Gesha

Use a medium-fine grind to start. If the cup tastes thin or sour, grind a touch finer; if it turns bitter or heavy, grind coarser and keep your water around 92°C to let the florals shine.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

A 100g bag brews roughly 6 to 7 filter cups at 15g per cup. Gesha is one of coffee's rarest and most celebrated varieties, and this is a Cup of Excellence-winning lot — so think of this bag as a small run of special pours, enough to slow down and savour each one over a week or two of mornings.
