A super exciting and innovative coffee from legendary Brazilian farm Mió, roasted in Wiltshire by Girls Who Grind. Ana Luiza Pellicer is a fourth generation coffee producer who has also spent time researching the specialty coffee industry in Europe to understand how her family’s farm can revolutionise and be one step ahead of the effects of climate change.

Faced with an increasing number of overripe cherries, the team at Mió alongisde Professor Lucas Louzada are getting creative to continue producing quality coffee and rescue harvests that would otherwise be wasted. This microlot showcases Volcanic Fermentation; an experimental process for overripe cherries that involves placing them into an oxygen rich environment and forming them into small mounds, then innoculating with baker’s yeast to kick-start fermentation.

Not only could this innovation help to counter the effects of Brazil’s warming climate and potentially offer a solution to producers globally who are vulnerable to climate change, it also produces incredible sensorial cups that are wildly different from the rest of Mió’s output.

This coffee has a beautifully creamy body marked by vibrantly juicy peach flavour and a heady floral aroma. Definitely one to appreciate with a delicate hand-brew method, we recommend V60 brewing to taste the potential future of coffee.
