Maragogipe Southern Boundaries Coffee

Maragogipe is a spontaneous mutation of the Typica variety, first discovered in Bahia, Brazil. Its oversized 'elephant beans' produce a cup with far more depth than the bean size suggests, and this rare variety is only grown in small, select lots.

Expect a deep, jammy sweetness of blackcurrant and jabuticaba, with a tangy tamarind finish that lingers. The light roast keeps these notes vibrant rather than masking them with roast flavor.

This lot shines as filter coffee. Use a V60, Chemex or Hario, water at 92°C and a 1:16 ratio. The bigger beans are dense, so keep the grind coarse and even for a clean, balanced extraction. You can order the beans whole or ground for your brew method, for example Medium Coarse for a V60 or Coarse for a Chemex: just choose your grind when you order.

Jean Vilhena Faleiros grows it at 1,160 m at Fazenda Santa Mônica 2 in Cássia, Alta Mogiana. The region's mineral-rich soils and altitude allow slow cherry development, and this lot is processed as a natural, which deepens the fruit sweetness.

Yes. It is a new-crop microlot, direct traded and traceable to the farm. We roast in small batches every week in our Amsterdam roastery, so the beans reach you fresh and at their peak.
