  • PROCESSING

    This lot is produced using Mio's advanced extended fermentation protocol. Approximately half of the harvested cherries are naturally overripe, having begun to dry while still on the tree, contributing additional sweetness and complexity. The cherries then undergo a carefully controlled 72-hour fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, with glucose and fructose added to guide microbial activity and enhance flavour development.

    Throughout fermentation, drying, and storage, every stage is closely monitored using Mio's traceability system. The result is a remarkably clean and expressive coffee with vibrant fruit character, silky body, and refined acidity.

    HISTORY

    Located in Monte Santo de Minas, Mio has become one of Brazil's most innovative specialty coffee producers by combining precision agriculture with cutting-edge fermentation techniques. Rather than relying solely on traditional processing methods, the team continually experiments with controlled fermentations to unlock new flavour possibilities while maintaining exceptional consistency.

    Every lot is fully traceable from harvest to drying, reflecting Mio's commitment to quality, transparency, and sustainability. This Arara Peaberry demonstrates how thoughtful innovation and careful craftsmanship can transform Brazilian coffee into something vibrant, fruit-forward, and distinctly modern.
