Rafael Vinhal Lot 004 (Anaerobic Natural) - Brazil

Since 1988 Vinhal Farm has been producing very high quality coffees in the heart of Minas Gerais state, in Cerrado Mineiro Region - Brazil. Throughout this trajectory they have improved their work and adopted the best sustainability practices and respect for people and the environment. They are a family run business and everyone who works in the farm is absolutely passionate about their coffee.

Their properties are certified by Rainforest Alliance, 4C and Certifica Minas. To achieve and maintain these certifications, they need to comply with a series of standards regarding issues such as environmental conservation and sustainable production, good social practices and working conditions, an efficient management and control system for the entire production chain and, of course, full compliance with all current legislation. 

This coffee has been mechanically harvested and washed to select just the ripest cherries. The cherries then undergo a dry anaerobic fermentation for 96-158 hours followed by a thermal shock before they are centrifuged and finally slow dried on patios for 16-21 days.
