About this coffee
Funky Jumper Banger: a semi-anaerobic microlot from Fazenda do Salto
Funky Jumper Banger is a Red Catuaí microlot from Fazenda do Salto in Carmo da Cachoeira, Sul de Minas. The 800-hectare estate sits at 1,150 metres and is run by Otávio Reis, the fifth generation of a family that has grown coffee for 100 years.
What it tastes like
This lot is fermented semi-anaerobically, which gives it a funky, fruity character. Expect ripe plum, raisin and orange, with a brown rum note that turns boozy as espresso. We roast it light, so the fruit stays up front.
How the farm works
Otávio's approach is methodical and terroir-conscious. Natural coffees dry for 15 to 20 days on wide patios before they finish in rotary dryers. Pulped naturals (honey) get less patio time and precise machine drying. Besides Red Catuaí, the farm grows Yellow Catucaí, Bourbon, Rubi, Icatu, Mundo Novo, Arara and Topázio.
How to brew it
As filter coffee (V60, Chemex, AeroPress) it is lively and fruit-forward. As espresso it is bold and boozy, with the brown rum note in front.
Microlot. Direct trade. Traceable to the farm.
