Description

Sítio Matuto: a family microlot from Campestre

Paulo and Vilma Pereira are the third generation of coffee growers in Campestre, Minas Gerais. For decades the family sold their coffee to the conventional market. Then they joined the Legender Specialty Coffee Program, which adds a quality-based premium to their price.

That premium encouraged them to switch to selective picking, better drying and more careful post-harvest handling. “We were happy with the quality, always hearing good things about it, but we didn’t know the real potential of our coffee. What was good became even better, and showed us that we still have room to improve,” says Vilma Pereira.

What it tastes like

A soft caramel sweetness, ripe apricot and a fresh herbal note in the finish. It is a natural processed Yellow Catuaí.

What is a sítio?

A sítio is a small Brazilian coffee farm. With smaller plots, there is generally more focus on quality and more attention to detail in picking, drying and handling.

How to brew it

Sítio Matuto is part of both our Explore Espresso Box and our Explore Filter Special Box, so it works either way. It comes as whole beans in a 250 g bag. Grind just before brewing.

Microlot. Traceable to the farm. Roasted in small batches in Amsterdam.

Behind this coffee

  • Small batch

    What is a microlot?

    A microlot is a small lot of coffee from one farm that is picked and processed separately. That keeps its own character intact and makes it traceable to the farm.

    Because the quantity is limited, a microlot is only available for a short time.

  • The process

    What does natural process mean?

    With the natural process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the bean still inside, usually on patios for two to three weeks. The fruit stays in contact with the bean, which tends to give more body, sweetness and fruit.

    It is the traditional method in Brazil, where a clear dry season makes it possible.
