About Brazilian Ipanema Yellow Bourbon
A quality gourmet coffee from the Ipanema estate in Brazil. Located in the middle of the Mantiqueira mountain range, the Fazenda Rio Verde estate is a true natural sanctuary, where coffee occupies just over 40% of the total area. Fazenda Rio Verde has the most rugged terrain amongst the three farms that Ipanema Coffee own. Ranging from 800 to 1,350 metres (2,600 to 4,400 feet) in altitude, almost all of the farm's harvest operations must be conducted by hand due to the topography of the land. The varieties of coffee bean produced at Fazenda Rio Verde range from Acaia, Mundo Novo, Red Rubi as well as the exceptional Yellow Bourbon, Yellow Catuai and Yellow Icatu.
 
The soil is predominantly clay on a red mineral volcanic base, rich in decompostible material. On the mountain slopes, the diversity of vegetation has given these soils an unequalled richness in terms of nutrients and organic material. 
 
We roast this coffee to-order in small batches from our Northumberland based roastery to ensure optimum freshness and flavour by the time it makes it into your mug.
