This coffee was processed using the "pulped natural" or "honey" method --a combination of the 'wet' and 'natural' drying processes. It comes from Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama in the well-known Alto Mogiana region of Sao Paulo State in Brazil. The farm's coffee has been one of the finalists at Brazils Cup of Excellence in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2005. As with all of our coffees, we sourced these coffee beans directly from the farm. Fazenda Grama (for short), currently managed by Bourbon Specialty Coffees, still grows its flagship varietals: Yellow & Red Bourbon. It processes coffee using both Natural (patio dried) and Pulped Natural methods. Nelson visited the farm in June of 2017, and then again in March 2018 with Eleni, cupped many samples, discussed coffee production with farm management and met with workers and their children while walking the coffee plantations. Fazenda Grama has been in the Carvalho Dias family since 1890. It was inherited by Lindolpho de Carvalho Dias, who with his son Gabriel de Carvalho Dias managed the property. The farm is located 3 miles from the Minas Gerais state line and has mountainous characteristics found in the Alto Mogiana and Sul de Minas aereas. On this farm everything is done manually, which includes coffee plantation handling and harvest, since its topography does not allow any kind of mechanization. Social and environmental sustainability is considered very important farm management. Lindolpho de Carvalho Dias developed a program of planting native species in order to keep heirloom varieties. The farm has a school, a club and a regulation-size soccer field for the employees' benefit. There are 47 houses for the employees and their families, all with modern facilities. The wastewater is treated to avoid polluting the stream that runs across the farm. The altitude is between 1,100 and 1,250 meters (3,410 to 3,875 feet) above sea level and the precipitation is between 1,800 and 2,000mm per year
