A bright, fruit-forward Brazilian single origin

Brazil Silvio Roberto is a single origin coffee from the Mata de Minas region, grown by producer Silvio Roberto and processed as an anaerobic natural. It's for home brewers who love a clean, juicy cup, leading with passion fruit, rosehip and milk chocolate. Roasted to a light, filter-friendly profile in Kuala Lumpur.

About This Coffee

Silvio Roberto is a respected producer in the enchanting Mata de Minas region of Brazil and a key contributor to the JS Project, a community initiative led by Inacio Soares. The project shares advanced coffee-processing expertise across producers in Mata de Minas and São Sebastião do Anta, lifting quality and lighting the path for the next generation of Brazilian coffee growers.

The care shows in the cup. Handpicked cherries are floated and drained, then fermented anaerobically for nine to ten days to build the coffee's extraordinary fruit character. The sealed tanks rest in the forest, where stable temperatures let fermentation reach its optimal state.

After fermentation, the coffee is dried gently on raised beds over roughly 25 days, then rested at a steady 12% humidity so the flavours can settle and refine. The result is a vibrant, expressive Brazil that tastes, in our opinion, even better than last season's lot.

If your cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a touch finer; if it's heavy or bitter, go slightly coarser until the fruit comes through clean.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

Brewed as filter at around 15g per cup, a 250g bag makes about 16 cups and a 1kg bag about 65 cups. Anaerobic naturals like this are limited-lot coffees, so each bag is a chance to savour a Brazil you won't see every season — worth slowing down for, cup by cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
Both work beautifully. As filter it's bright and juicy, showing off the passion fruit and rosehip. As espresso it's sweeter and rounder, with the milk-chocolate body coming forward. Use the recipes above as your starting point.

What does Brazil Silvio Roberto taste like?
Expect passion fruit and rosehip up front with a smooth milk-chocolate body and a clean, floral finish. The anaerobic natural process gives it more fruit intensity than a typical Brazil, while staying easy to drink.

How fresh is the coffee?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. These beans are at their best around two to three weeks after roasting, so you have a generous window to brew them at their peak.

Do I need to grind finer for this coffee?
Start with the recipes above. If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer to add sweetness and body; if it's heavy or bitter, go slightly coarser. Small adjustments make a big difference.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. We offer free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
