A Glimpse into Ipanema
Brazilian Ipanema Bourbon coffee takes its name from the Bourbon cultivar, a cherished coffee plant variety renowned for its exceptional flavour and aroma. Cultivated in the fertile soils of the mountainous regions of Ipanema, this coffee variety enjoys the perfect combination of climate, altitude, and soil composition that creates an ideal environment for coffee cultivation.
The coffee cherries in Ipanema are grown at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,400 metres above sea level, allowing them to develop a nuanced and complex flavour profile. This meticulous cultivation results in one of the defining characteristics of Ipanema Bourbon coffee - its exquisite taste.
A Symphony of Flavours
Ipanema Bourbon coffee offers a smooth and well-balanced cup, characterised by a medium body and a delicate acidity. But it's in the flavour profile that this coffee truly shines; with a harmonious blend of fruity and nutty notes, with hints of caramel and chocolate. The aroma is equally captivating, with a fragrance that fills the air and sets the stage for a delightful coffee experience.
Processed to Perfection
The processing of Ipanema Bourbon coffee is a meticulous craft, executed to preserve the coffee beans' quality and unique characteristics. The cherries are carefully hand-picked at the peak of ripeness to ensure optimal sweetness. From there, they undergo a meticulous wet processing method, which involves removing the pulp and fermenting the beans to enhance their natural flavours. The final step is sun-drying the beans to perfection, resulting in a premium coffee with exceptional taste and aroma.
